I stand with NYSUT in their fight to restore local control over charter school decisions. Accountability, transparency and public input – that's all we're asking for. It's the same standard we already expect of our public schools. Join me: nysut.cc/charteraction

I love our public schools because they support EVERY student. Charter schools? not so much. Between applications only available in English to screening out working families through mandatory volunteer hours, charter schools are cherry-picking students. In fact, data shows charter schools systematically underserve: ❌ Special education: 50% fewer students with severe disabilities ❌ English learners: 10% in public schools vs 5% in charters Learn more: charterschoolfacts.org

For over 30 years, we've been told charter schools would revolutionize education. The reality? They're draining billions from our neighborhood schools while operating with little accountability to our communities. This isn't about "choice"—it's about protecting the schools that serve ALL our children. Learn more: charterschoolfacts.org
