BOSTON – The nation’s teachers unions hate charter schools that compete with traditional unionized public schools, so they’re spending millions to fight against a dozen new charter schools in Massachusetts.noon2
Massachusetts voters will decide Question 2 on the November ballot, which would authorize 12 new charter schools in the state if approved.
A campaign to block the new schools, known as No on 2, has raised nearly $13.5 million through October 15 to convince voters to reject the proposal, and recent campaign finance reports show nearly all of it came from the Massachusetts Teachers Association and other affiliated teachers unions, according to the Education Intelligence Agency.
