Over 60% of NYC parents want more charter schools, state cap lifted: poll

New York City parents strongly support charter schools — and want Gov. Kathy Hochul and Albany lawmakers to lift the state-imposed cap and open more of the publicly funded alternatives as an option for their kids, a new poll obtained by The Post reveals.

The online Morning Consult survey conducted for the pro-school choice Democrats for Education Reform (DFER-NY) found that 64% of parents have a favorable opinion of charter schools, while only 22% have an unfavorable view, with the remainder undecided or having no opinion.

Parents and all registered voters were also asked: “As you may know, New York state has set a cap on the number of charter schools allowed to open, and New York City has reached that limit, meaning no more charter schools can be authorized to open. Do you support or oppose New York state increasing the cap on the number of public charter schools allowed to open in New York City?”

Nearly two-thirds of parents — 64% — said they support increasing the cap, while just 23% of parents said they were opposed, with the remainder undecided.

Bullshit.  They want no such thing.  They overwhelmingly opposed a gubernatorial candidate who campaigned on doing exactly that.
