“#NY blocks kids from good charter schools \u2014 yet again<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

Once again, the state dashed the hopes of city families looking for good schools when the Board of Regents nixed a plan Monday by four K-8 charters to jointly open a high school for their graduating middle-schoolers. <\/p>\n

The board cited a lack of charter slots available under the state\u2019s charter cap. <\/p>\n

As we\u2019ve argued repeatedly, there\u2019s no reason for a cap. Rather than make more kids suffer in failing public schools, lawmakers should scrap it, or at least raise it significantly. <\/p>\n

Yet even with the cap, the Regents could have accepted the claim by the schools\u2019 operators (Public Prep Charter School Academies and the Brilla College Preparatory Charter Schools) that they weren\u2019t creating a whole new charter but merely expanding their existing one, albeit jointly. <\/p>\n

Clearly the Regents didn\u2019t want to draw the ire of Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and his master in the teachers unions, which despise the largely non-union-run charters. These kids\u2019 future schooling is now in limbo. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a recent survey by The Post found that 72 percent of New York households with incomes with incomes under $60,000 want the cap lifted. In Queens, as The Post has reported, some traditional schools actually tell parents to pull their kids out of if they want them to get a good education \u2014 yet lawmakers won\u2019t let more charters operate, even though they often far outperform the traditional schools.<\/p>\n

Some activists want state lawmakers to call a special session and pass bills they\u2019re pushing. But If ever there was a reason to reconvene, it\u2019s to lift the cap \u2014 and make life a little more hopeful for New York\u2019 kids.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
