Go slow on charter schools, city asks : City & Region : The Buffalo News:
"Buffalo School Superintendent James A. Williams has taken a favorable view of charter schools during the first several years, saying they spawn innovation and provide healthy competition for traditional public schools.
But now, after a series of run-ins with local charter schools, he is asking for a state moratorium on the creation of new charter schools in Buffalo and its adjoining suburbs.
Williams' request is driving the tense relationship between charter and traditional schools to new levels of acrimony."
