The
National Alliance for Public Charter Schools describes itself as “the leading
national nonprofit organization committed to advancing the charter school
movement.” It closely tracks the charter school market share.
In
2012-2013, Gulen charter school enrollment was 59,953 students. The
following table contains the figures for each of the schools listed on the NAPCS
website (=140) that are Gulen Movement-associated.
In 2011-2012,
Gulen charter school enrollment was 51,950 students.
In 2010-2011,
Gulen charter school enrollment was 44,727 students.
Such rapid
escalation is occurring not only because new schools are opening, but because
schools are continually filling out the grade levels that are permitted by
their charter agreements. Even though these schools hire a good number of
American teachers, the Gulenists maintain control of the finances, resulting in
a
lot of taxpayer money being delivered directly into the hands of this
secretive and extremely controversial Turkish religious group -- and
with very little oversight (see here,
here,
here,
here,
etc.).
The list of
known new Gulen charter schools for 2013-2014 is at the very bottom.
