ProPublica Tests How Easily Anyone Can Open a Private School
Original: Almost Anyone Can Start a Private School. We Put This to the Test.
ProPublica launched an experiment to see whether its reporters could open a private school, following earlier reporting that found people with questionable backgrounds had founded schools in barns, strip malls and other unlikely places. The investigation highlights how minimal the regulatory hurdles are for starting a private school in the United States, raising fresh questions about oversight and child safety.
Why now: The findings of a newsroom actually attempting to open a school shine a light on weak regulation of private education.
