The city’s Conflicts of Interest Board is letting a district superintendent play a pivotal role in opening three charter schools that would serve the same group of students she oversees.

Alternative High Schools District leader Cami Anderson got permission not only to help open and advocate for the alternative charters but also to raise money and recruit board members — all on city time.

That’s despite concerns about an education official’s having a stake in schools that fall outside her district’s purview and that might compete for students. If approved, two charters would open in The Bronx and one in Brooklyn in 2011.
