Senate Republicans entered budget negotiations with a wish list of more than a
dozen items to benefit the
charter school sector, but in the end they settled for $ 54 million in
additional funding for
charter schools paid for by the state Senate out of its discretionary fund and a renewal of some of the previous budget's pro-
charter policies.
The controversial
charter school leader, whose Success Academy schools spread to about two
dozen locations across the city under Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration, has been rejected from a plan to share space with three
additional public schools this fall, officials said.
