I'd like to hear from some others with some experience in this area.

As far as the motivations of the Board Members, it's more than just simple antagonism toward Rojas. I've read a lot more articles on this than the one I posted since it is a local issue, and the main objection is indeed the leprous touch of capitalism on education. Period. These people are convinced to the point of religious fervor that profit shall never have a place in education, and whether or not these companies do a better job has no relevance to the question at all. Those who do not agree with them are pretty much resigned to fighting them to the last man.
