Ever imagine yourself as a private school operator? It’s not such a wild idea. Hundreds of new private schools have popped up all over the country in recent years, responding to a surge of public money for students to pay tuition.
A team of ProPublica journalists has spent this year documenting how the American education landscape is shifting with an increased push for school privatization.
Our reporting has identified big differences in how states regulate who can run a school, what they must teach and where they can hold class. While some require new private school operators to prove they’re on the up-and-up, others invite anyone with a dream and a heartbeat to get into the business. ProPublica even founded a couple this year.
So why not you? Take our quiz on ProPublica’s website to find out which states might welcome you to open one with ease, no experience required.
