Important: Let’s Thank Those House Members Who Support Charter Reform
Good news. Fifteen members of the House of Representatives led by Mark
Pocan and Jamaal Bowman signed a letter to Secretary of Education, Miguel
Cardona, Chairwoman of the Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human
Services, Education, and Related Agencies House Appropriations
Committee, Rosa DeLauro, and the subcommittee’s Ranking Member, Tom
Cole.
You can read that letter here. The letter not only asks for a reduction in Charter School
Program (CSP) funds in the next budget, it also asks for real CSP
reform. In addition to more oversight, members ask that any charter school
run by a for-profit management company be ineligible to receive CSP
funds.
