Epic Political Contributions

​Blog Challenge "100 posts in 100 days" Post #63

Epic Charter School is back in the news. This time is in regards to the connection between those who work for the company that operates Epic Charter School and political candidate contributions. 

I would love to know what you guys think about this? I can offer my opinion, but I'm afraid this time I have mixed emotions. I believe that Epic Charter School provides an alternative to brick and mortar schools, one that I believe is desperately needed. I don't fully understand the relationship between the company that operates Epic and the actual school. I know that there is an extremely hefty price charged as operating costs and I believe that money could be spent in better ways but aren't these two separate issues? 

I don't love that anything negative about the school is being piled on, blurring the lines. Below is the article, share your thoughts in the comments and I'll be sure to respond!
