In a new Wall Street Journal opinion piece titled, “Why I’m Backing Charter Schools,” mayor of New York City Michael Bloomberg announced he is launching a five-year, $750 million effort to expand charter schools in the U.S.
He says his five-year plan will create 150,000 more seats for students and will focus on 20 metro areas, including New York City.
Senior vice president of communications and marketing at the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools, Debbie Veney, and the executive director at the Network for Public Education Carol Burris join Charles Blow on “Prime” to discuss this announcement.
All this and more on “Prime.”
