Charter School Says It Could Profit From State Education Cuts

Schools across Texas are bracing themselves for expected budget cuts from the Legislature, but a North Texas charter school said it may actually benefit from the shortfalls.

Nick Farley, CEO of The Education Center in Denton, said the cuts will still hit charter schools, but hopefully not as hard. He said his school could even profit if school districts lay off teachers and bump up class sizes.

"We are expecting that there may be some calls to us because we keep the ratio smaller," he said. "Rather than losing funds, we may end up with an increase since we get paid out of average daily attendance."

The Education Center also said the number of applicants to teach has skyrocketed.
