More Info:

I am outraged by your decision to bring Betsy DeVos-style charter proposals to New York, as laid out in the Senate one-house budget.
Your plan to unfreeze charter tuitions and give charters more money for staff and building aid will drain $350 million from New York's public schools and will send that money to corporate charter bank accounts.
That's money that otherwise would go to our neighborhood/ district public schools.
This drain on public schools will only get worse because you want to eliminate the current charter cap, creating an unlimited number of unregulated charter schools.
You cannot let this happen. Protect the public schools in your district. Do not be the one to bring Betsy DeVos' failed education agenda to New York.

Stop the DeVostation to New York School Districts
This chart shows how much 20 selected school districts – and your students -- would lose if Senate Republicans are successful. The Senate GOP wants to unfreeze charter tuition payments; require your local school districts to double-pay by absorbing the cost of charter school support staff; and provide new statewide building aid. This new giveaway to charters would come at the expense of the state's needed investment in Foundation Aid, which is used to benefit all school districts and help the vast majority of students who attend neighborhood public schools.
