Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : While still heavily regulated, innovative charter schools and their leaders lean into the autonomy and experimentation that sets the charter sector apart from traditional district schools.
51% : While charter schools held promise as "laboratories of innovation" when they were introduced more than three decades ago, that experimentation has largely faded.
48% : When friends suggested I include charter schools among the places to visit during my recent trip to see innovative learning models in New York City, I was skeptical.
40% : "That's a stereotype that needs to be smashed," said Sean Harrell, president of Integration Charter Schools on Staten Island.
