There are now 275 charter schools in the city that enroll 142,500 students, about 15% of all public schools — but no more can be authorized without raising the cap. Meanwhile, even charter schools that have been approved are having difficulty finding space.
Arlene Rosado has two children, one enrolled in public school while the other attends a charter school.Rosado’s son, Mano, is a 7th grader at the Nuasin Next Generation charter school in The Bronx, where she enrolled him because he was being bullied at a traditional public school.Data show that students in existing charter schoolspeers in the neighboring traditional public schools on the state’s standardized English and math tests.
Similarly, 48% of registered voters support raising the cap to open more charter schools — which typically have a longer school day and year than traditional public schools — compared to 30% who are opposed, with nearly one-quarter having no opinion.Even more telling, 51% of voters who identify as registered Democrats support raising the cap, compared to 27% opposing it — a 24 percent pro-charter margin.
Rosmaira Garcia, 27, a social worker from The Bronx said she has her son, Logan, 4, on waiting lists to enroll in kindergarten at seven different charter schools this fall. “It’s unfortunate that legislators are making these opportunities to get into charter schools more difficult,” she said. “They should be wanting more for our children. Let’s give our children an opportunity for a better future.”
More white and Asian voters also backed charter school expansion. Among whites, support for lifting the cap outnumbered opposition 45% to 34% with the remainder undecided. Asian voters sampled also back a cap lift — with 45% in support compared to 26% opposition with nearly a third undecided.
