Original: How ProPublica Reporters Became Private School Owners in 24 Hours
ProPublica journalists opened a private school in just 24 hours as a reporting experiment, with no credentials or background checks required. The stunt demonstrates how easily private schools can be established and potentially access public funding. The findings are raising concerns about lax oversight and the vulnerability of school voucher and subsidy programs to abuse.
Why now: The experiment exposes how easily private schools can be created to tap public education money, a live policy debate in the US.
