New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio
After four years waging a campaign against public charter schools, last
June, Mayor de Blasio, as he sought renewal of mayoral control,
promised collaboration and a new willingness to work with the sector, to
treat charters as the public schools they are — publicly created,
publicly regulated, publicly funded.
But it is now obvious that this was just rhetoric, and that instead, the mayor is waging a war of attrition.
Last week, the city falsely announced — without Success Academy’s input
or community engagement — that it had resolved Success’ requests for
space to accommodate hundreds of our rising middle schoolers. But this
woefully inadequate proposal leaves hundreds of graduating elementary
students educationally homeless and discriminates against the
highest-achieving public charter students not just in the city and
state, but in the nation.
