This Monday, Governor Chris Christie and Education Commissioner Chris
Cerf announced that they were going to disenfranchise the Camden Board of
Education and take
direct control of the city's schools. One of the most interesting

CAMDEN — Officials on
Thursday announced a newly approved public charter school in
North Camden , scheduled to begin serving up to
300 elementary school students beginning as early as September. Students at the new Camden Community Charter
School — which will soon break ground at what has long been an empty lot near
the intersection of 8th and Linden streets — will be provided with free laptops
and at-home Internet access through a partnership between Comcast and a local
charity. The new charter school will be
managed by CSMI Education Management LLC, which operates Chester
Community Charter School in Pennsylvania, and whose founder and CEO,
Vahan Gureghian, is one half of the foundation providing the free laptops and
Internet access to students. The other half, Danielle Gureghian, serves as
executive vice president and general counsel for the group.

Gureghian's charter school in Chester Republican State
When they were recently asked whether the current administration is seeking to privatize public education, a couple of PA State Senators used the term "selective dismantling" in discussions with school board members and superintendents in Delaware County.
Want to know what privatizing public education might look like in Pennsylvania?
Here are a few background links.
Email trail shows Pottstown schools chief was in talks with charter magnate
"Should that new paradigm involve Gureghian's takeover of Pottstown's elementary education, it would also have meant, by Lindley's estimates, a $19.2 million windfall in Pottstown tax dollars for Gureghian's company."
The Pottstown Mercury, Published: Sunday, May 29, 2011;
Andrew Dinniman, D-19th Dist. told The Mercury that with Harrisburg battling over school vouchers and a difficult state budget that it is unlikely any action would be undertaken on the charter school reform bill before the fall. ...

Sunday, December 19, 2010
By Tracie Mauriello, Post-Gazette Harrisburg Bureau
"The transition team member who provided the most to Mr. Corbett -- $334,286 over the past three years -- was Vahan Gureghian, a Gladwyne lawyer who operates the state's largest charter school and owns a billboard company.
Mr. Gureghian was tapped to serve on the education committee and to lead the 27-member transportation committee, along with two former PennDOT administrators."
