This is being done in conjunction with a six-month investigation involving the Miami Herald called “Cashing in on Kids.” Check out their findings<\/a> on self-dealing by charter school officials and even politicians cashing in on the system.<\/p>\n

StateImpact Florida got the data (it wasn’t easy, more on that later) and it shows some interesting patterns.<\/p>\n

You can see them here on this blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NPR is also airing a version of our story during Morning Edition Wednesday morning. Right now, the story is scheduled to start at 6:21 and 8:21 a.m. EST.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
