Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.Gov. Kathy Hochul’s proposed budget seeks to open the door for more charter schools in New York City, reigniting a battle over the role of the publicly funded, privately run schools.
“I believe every student deserves a quality education, and we are proposing to give New York families more options and opportunities to succeed,” Hochul said in a statement.Charter school leaders and their advocates cheered the proposal. Haimson said she worries allowing more charters to open in the city would drain more funds from traditional public schools and take away space needed to meet the mandate of a new law requiring smaller class sizes.
Charter schools now serve 140,000 students, compared to just over 900,000 in traditional public schools. But enrollment in charters has been increasing in recent years as enrollment at city-run schools has declined.
