Statewide charter school cap doubles

By Jasmyn Belcher

Oswego, New York – Charter school advocates are praising Governor Spitzer for doubling the state's cap on the number of charter schools to 200.

WRVO's Jasmyn Belcher spoke with Policy Director for the New York Charter Schools Association Peter Murphy.

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.
