By last year, groups such as the Connecticut Parents Union (on whose
advisory board your editor serves) had sprouted up throughout the country, and, along with long - established groups such as the Black Alliance for Educational Options, were agitating for the enactment
of Parent Trigger laws, pushing for the expansion
of charters and vouchers, and weighing in on such issues as
overhauling teacher evaluation systems.
The
advisory committee overseeing the boundary
overhaul has recommended that the District address the lack
of coordination between the two sectors, but — facing resistance from charter advocates — stopped short
of making specific recommendations.
