The Charter Folk has been castigating the state legislators for months and now are aghast when they refuse to lift the 100 school statewide cap. Whispers are that the City administration wanted to have power to convert existings schools to charters without any consultation/approval by parents. (forget about teachers or their union).
The one thing they succeeded in doing is alienate the very folk that has to approve the legislation – drats, that democracy thing again.
Coming to a negotiating table with all the stakeholders could result in additional charters – and maybe Spitzer can act as the convener, of course maybe the charter folk would rather be outside the tent pissing in!!!
