Underreported Charter Pay, Failing Scores

Texas released two years of previously withheld school ratings showing several charter districts with repeated F’s while their superintendents received some of the highest—often underreported—compensation in the state. One, Faith Family Academy, faces automatic closure after a third F, while Valere’s chief was paid up to $870,000 and Faith Family’s to $560,000. The pattern highlights board oversight failures and misaligned incentives in charter governance. — It challenges claims of superior charter accountability and spotlights the need for tighter transparency and compensation controls in publicly funded schools.
