PUSHBACK CONTINUES. CER launched the #BackOffMyCharter contest to show the world that John Oliver’s charter critique was hugely unbalanced. We certainly aren’t the only ones arguing this point. Political comedy channel We the Internet TV produced this short video that’s worth a watch and share.
MEETING DEMAND. As Back to School is now officially in full effect, there are more than 30,000 Massachusetts students wishing they could be starting their school year off in a charter school. It’s time to expand charters to meet demand.
