Why we're giving $50M to charter schools to help kids catch up after...

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : Charter schools receive less in per-pupil state-education funding than district schools, but the flexibility they have to empower teachers and principals -- and hold them accountable for success -- has produced extraordinary results.
57% : So to build on the city's efforts and increase access to summer classes, Bloomberg Philanthropies, Kenneth C. Griffin, Stan Druckenmiller, the Carson Family Charitable Trust, Robin Hood, Gray Foundation and Walentas Foundation are committing $50 million to help charter schools create or expand summer-school programs this year.
56% :More young New Yorkers deserve access to those opportunities, and our leaders in Albany should help provide them by lifting the state cap on charter schools.
34% : School closures and inadequate remote instruction over the last two years have created a crisis in public education.
