Baker Mitchell, who I hear Phil Berger Sr, put him on the NC Charter School Advisory board

"...charter operators say there’s no need to increase accountability requirements and take the position that those schools are exempt from many aspects of the state’s public records and open meetings laws. Baker Mitchell, whose Roger Bacon Academy operates charter schools, is also president of the N.C. Alliance for Public Charter schools and a member of the state’s Charter School Advisory board."
