The paper makes the point that state
public education funding was
cut by $ 5 billion over the 2011 - 12 biennium and that bilingual and special
education programs suffered as a result, thereby contributing to the decline in achievement.
While we can not be certain these gains will remain if additional and severe
education cuts are enacted, we remain vigilant in protecting all forms of charter school
funding and in reducing inequity in
funding levels between charter schools and traditional
public schools.
The report calls on school operators,
funders, policymakers and city - based organizations such as The Mind Trust to create conditions that promote innovative thinking and ideas that can keep charter schools on the
cutting edge of
public education and allow them to serve more kids.
While the City of Bridgeport's
public education budget faced additional
cuts this school year, Achievement First Inc.'s charter school in Bridgeport will be getting a free $ 850,000 in
public funds to construct a new cafeteria, classrooms and gymnasium space.
While the issues at stake vary by state, a number of elections this cycle will hinge on a variety of
education - related questions, including recent
cuts to
public schools, growing class sizes, Common Core State Standards, access to pre-K
education and the availability of state -
funded student loans for college.
Expanding choice for choice's sake, while simultaneously
cutting funding to
public education, is unsupportable.
