Peter Murphy School Quotations

For the first time, we have a situation where quality charter schools will not be approved for no other reason than there's no room to approve.

Opponents of charter schools will be quick to draw the conclusion that charter schools aren't pulling their weight, but that's not fair,

What this bill would do is a poison pill amendment to require the school board to approve the existence of a new charter school going forward. So this idea that this is some kind of compromise measure, that it lifts the cap but provides the oversight, is completely misleading. In fact, it's designed to pretend to lift the cap, but in fact, squash any new opportunity going forward.
