Protect Charter School Funding!
Charter schools are under attack at the federal level.
A new education funding bill proposed in Congress would cut off ALL federal funding—including funding for students from low-income communities and students with disabilities—for charter schools that contract with for-profit businesses.
Charter schools, and traditional public schools for that matter, rely on private companies to provide necessary services for their students, including transportation, school meals, virtual platforms, and classroom management. Singling out charter schools for partnering with private companies to support students could result in many schools closing due to lack of needed resources.
All schools, including traditional, charter, magnet, and private, contract with businesses to provide services including transportation, school meals, virtual platforms, and classroom management.
Apparently, Congress thinks charter school students don’t deserve the same quality education as their traditional public school counterparts. More specifically, they think charter school students—who are more likely to be Black and Brown and come from low-income communities—are less deserving of the support and services necessary to receive a quality education.
We need your help. Send a letter to your representatives in Congress and tell them to treat ALL public school students fairly.
