Massachusetts is facing a ballot question in November on the
future of charter schools. A
"yes" vote supports this proposal to authorize up to 12 new
charter schools or enrollment expansions in existing charter schools by the
state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education per year. A "no"
vote opposes this proposal to authorize up to 12 new charter schools or
enrollment expansions in existing charter schools (Ballotpedia, 2016).
As an
educator and as a psychologist, I believe the answer to this ballot question
must be “no”. I will publish to this blog a series on why I believe this to be necessary.
I stand for an education system that meets the needs of all learners, that holds
every staff member and student to high standards, and produces measurable
results. I do not believe question two is the way to achieve this goal. Please
join me as I explain further.
