State lawmakers allied with the teachers union vowed to fight Gov. Kathy Hochul’s plan to open more charter schools in New York City.
would keep a statewide cap of 460 charters in place but eliminate a regional cap for New York City to make dozens of more slots available for new charter schools in the Big Apple.But powerful state senators, with whom Hochul will have to negotiate the budget-tied plan, issued a joint statement saying they opposed increasing the regional cap in New York City, where 142,500 students or 15 percent of public students are enrolled.
“Public resources should go to real public schools – not to corporate charter chains that claim success by refusing to serve our most vulnerable children, that force out students who don’t fit their mold, and that refuse to permit independent audits of their spending,” Mulgrew said. But Hochul stood her ground when asked about the resistance to her pro-NYC charter school plan during a budget briefing.
“What we’re trying to do is something that is just common sense. This legislature approved 460 charter slots in New York State. That number has not been achieved,” Hochul said.
