    • The charter school debate has taken an interesting twist in Dublin, California, where a group without any children attending Dublin public schools is petitioning to open an charter high school.

      That's despite the success of Dublin High - 98% of 2009 grads reported attending college. That's despite Dublin High being included in Newsweek's 2010 list of America's Top Public High Schools. That's despite Dublin High ranking in the top 10% of California high schools (district or charter-run) according to Dublin High's 2009 API score. www.OneDublin.org is an independent, parent-run organization committed to Dublin public education excellence.
