The grant technically expired in late 2019, but waivers to finish sending such cash are routine\u00a0\u2014 except the Biden Department of Education last summer refused to grant an extension.<\/p>\n<p>That denial was nakedly political: Before the feds announced it, the president\u2019s American Rescue Plan allocated <em>billions<\/em> to New York schools in COVID relief.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The money Biden\u2019s DOE is sitting on is <em>nothing<\/em> compared to that huge sum \u2014 and had long since been factored into these schools\u2019 budgetary plans.<\/p>\n<p>As Emily Kim, founder and CEO of Zeta Charter Schools (one of the outfits suing), put it: \u201cThere is no good reason for them to deny this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The schools affected \u2014 as is common for charters in New York City \u2014 enroll between 97% and 99% students of color and 65% to 100% economically disadvantaged students. Once more, lefty ideology and the fact that Dems nationally are utterly beholden to the teachers unions conspire to harm the most vulnerable.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the denial fits perfectly with this administration\u2019s relentless hostility to charters. In March the White House released a set of rules clearly aimed at handcuffing charters. They  would, among other onerous requirements, force charters seeking federal funds into partnerships with traditional public schools and demand they produce \u201ccommunity impact\u201d analyses as a way of hobbling their growth and stifling their efforts to innovate.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201ccommunity impact\u201d charters have is clear. They offer great educational options for parents who have been utterly failed by regular public schools \u2014 failures that overwhelmingly come in poorer, less white neighborhoods.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re sure that\u2019s just a coincidence. There\u2019s<em> no way<\/em> educrats and teachers unions could be <em>deliberately<\/em> negligent when it comes to communities that lack the resources to push back.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So good luck to Kim &amp; Co as they take this fight to the feds. Wars are won battle by battle, and this is a deeply necessary one.\u00a0\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
