Private schools are not accountable to taxpayers for the use of public dollars. They do not have public meetings, open records, or publicly elected school boards. They are not required to participate in the state testing program, nor do they receive an A-F letter grade from the state Board of Education. State law requires all of this of public schools in order to account for the use of taxpayer funds.
