“Charter schools’ common sense ask of state Legislature” A pro-charter school rally in City Hall Park Wednesday served as a reminder of yet another thing Albany isn’t doing: letting more kids attend good schools.

“#Assemblyman Ramos charters are a cure, not a virus” In a bizarre tirade likening charter schools to COVID, Assemblyman Phil Ramos exposed himself and like-minded Democratic lawmakers as beyond ignorant. “Charter schools have kind of taken on the characteristics of coronavirus.

“#Bloomberg doubles down on most important legacy: charter schools” Michael Bloomberg last week vowed to drop a cool $750 million to solidify and expand the charter-school sector across 20 metro areas — including New York City, whose vibrant charters may well prove the most important legacy of his mayoralty. Charters, as Bloomberg notes, are one…
“#Charter schools gained over public during pandemic: report” Charter schools scooped up hundreds of thousands of additional students across the U.S. during the coronavirus outbreak while enrollment plunged at traditional public schools amid building closures and inferior virtual learning, a new report reveals. Charter school enrollment increased by 7.1 percent nationally during 2020-’21 amid the…
“#Jalen Rose talks school choice and unions with Steve Perry” Since we’re in back-to-school mode, and I’m fresh off welcoming students back to Jalen Rose Leadership Academy after a year of virtual teaching, I wanted to dedicate an episode of “Renaissance Man” to someone who has inspired me in the education game.

“#Gov. Hochul wants mandated COVID testing for unvaxxed school workers” ALBANY — Gov. Kathy Hochul said Tuesday she’s seeking “the legal clearance” to mandate COVID-19 testing on unvaccinated public and charter school workers across the state — but shots in arms are her long-term goal. “I want everyone vaccinated,” she said. “I don’t have the…
