As more money is diverted from public schools to charter schools expect more stories like this

Snark isn’t becoming.

Why does this rub you in all the wrong ways?

As it pertains to lodging for other professions when provided by the employer:

The Exclusion for Meals and Lodging.
When an employer provides housing or lodging for an employee, the employee may be able to exclude the value of the lodging from gross income. The lodging must meet three tests: (1) The lodging must be on the employer’s business premises; (2) the employer must provide the lodging for the employer’s convenience rather than for the employee’s convenience; and (3) the employer must require the employee to accept the lodging as a condition of employment. Thus, the employee must need to live in the lodging to be able to perform the duties of the employment, as Example 10 shows. 33


So if any other non-profit meets that standard, then they too can exclude lodging from income taxes.
