Charter schools lose out in revised education bill - Courant.com

Please help educate the Courant editorial board and the Courant readers who might feel the paper is a source of news.  Please fill in some facts in the comments section.

Charter schools lose out in revised education bill - Courant.com: "Public charter schools are a key to closing the achievement gap between urban and suburban schools, so it's no wonder that Gov.Dannel P. Malloyhad proposed increasing funding for charters in his education reform bill this year.

Unfortunately, the legislature's education committee, apparently at the beck and call of teacher unions, has voted to dial back the increases.

The vote was yet another attempt by majority Democrats to rally around the status quo — at the expense of students who deserve better."
