Thanks
to state government intervention under Governor Cuomo,
access to facilities funding
for New York City
charter schools is now more secure than ever.
• Overwhelming parental support
for the following elements of an education agenda: Provide extra resources
to turn around struggling neighborhood
schools; hold
charter schools accountable; provide more support / training
for struggling teachers; expand / improve new - teacher mentoring; reduce class sizes, especially in the early grades; make public
schools hubs of the neighborhood with longer hours, academic help and health services
for families; provide extra pay
for teachers in hard -
to - staff
schools; and ensure
access to high - quality preschool
for all 3 - and 4 - year - olds.
That includes Colorado and Florida, which gave
charters access to local property tax levies; Texas, which gave
charters state funding
for facilities
for the first time; and Illinois, which passed a comprehensive overhaul of its
school finance system that brought greater equity
to school statewide, and created a new tax credit scholarship program
to boot.
Rather, it is
to make sure that all students have equitable
access to all public
schools in a city, and
to create funding policies and support structures that make it possible
for charter schools to serve all students effectively.
While the President's FY 2012 Budget requests funding
to improve D.C. public
schools and expand high - quality public
charter schools, the Administration opposes targeting resources
to help a small number of individuals attend private
schools rather than creating
access to great public
schools for every child.
Unfortunately,
for every year a child who wants
access to a public
charter school who is stuck on a waitlist or without a
school nearby, we're failing
to follow through on the vision lawmakers had twenty years ago.
Ensuring they are knowledgeable about requirements
for educating students with disabilities — and poised
to take action should
charter schools fall short — is essential
to ensuring all students are provided equal
access to the sector.
We look forward
to strengthening our entire
charter law, with an eye on flexibility and a better system
for funding
schools, so that more children in Connecticut can have
access to quality choices, like public
charters, in their communities.
