Charter parents and advocates rallied Wednesday at City Hall to protest Team de Blasio’s failure to meet the Sept. 1 deadline to respond to requests for public space. These space requests aren’t frivolous. Charters are bursting at their seams. They now serve 114.000 students, with 48.000 more kids wait-listed.

This school year, for the first time, all 1,1 million New York City public schoolchildren can get fed without paying a penny. If only, on this first day of school, that same passion for fairness echoed not just in cafeterias but in classrooms around New York.

The State University of New York, which oversees most of the state’s charters, removed yet another regulatory obstacle last month when it gave high-performing charter schools the right to design their own teacher-training programs and certify their own teachers.

My son Barack — and 841 other public charter school students — have nowhere to go for middle school next year. As I saw so often their district schools, those in charge (in this case, Mayor de Blasio and Chancellor Carmen Farina) are hiding behind bureaucracy, using that excuse to avoid giving us answers: Will we have a middle school? Where will it be?

While district school families have known for months what their options are, Mayor de Blasio and the Department of Education have been continually stonewalling Success Academy’s requests for middle school space. Their actions have left Success Academy parents like me in a constant state of anxiety, not knowing if I would have to uproot my daughter’s life by sending her to a district school.

Hundreds of charter school students, parents and educators rallied at Cadman Plaza yesterday to celebrate the impact of Brooklyn charter schools on local communities and demand education equality for every student.

Thousands of charter school parents across New York City are trying to get their mayor’s attention. As the New York Daily News reported late last week, an initial mountain of letters were delivered to City Hall last Thursday, all signed by parents petitioning Mayor Bill de Blasio to speed up the city’s approval process for charter schools still awaiting classroom space.

I wish that Mayor De Blasio understood that for a parent, especially a recently widowed one who is trying to find the most nurturing environment for my children, the charter vs. district debate is meaningless. I don’t care if a school is charter or district — I just want a school that works for my kids.

In July, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio made a deal with state legislators: The mayor would retain control of city schools for two more years in exchange for a commitment to increase the number of charter schools.

It’s no secret to New Yorkers that de Blasio opposes charter schools—public schools that typically operate independent of traditional school districts—and he has engaged in high-profile efforts to slow charter school growth.

But new research suggests that what The New York Times calls his “unwritten concession” on charter schools may work out well for taxpayers and students.

According to an exclusive KCP numbers crunch of Brooklyn schools results in the recent state exams in math and English Language Arts (ELA) given to third- and eighth-graders, Success Academy Charter schools dominated with nine of the top 20 schools in test scores – including several in black and Hispanic neighborhoods.
