The Tribune's concerns regarding lease-purchase agreements and the procurement code is equally revealing. A new public charter school's only option is to lease a building from a private, for-profit entity. This is not the public charter school's fault. The state of Utah wants public charter schools, but is unwilling to assume the risks associated with constructing their buildings. Thus, state policy pushes that construction risk onto developers, which means public charter schools spend more money on interest payments and less on learning in the classroom.
