Charter Cap Hell, Take 1 (Rochester)
The folks at Community Charter School in Rochester have succeeded in leaping over one of the most significant hurdles today for charter school operators: they have a building that is ready to go. They also have an ambitious plan in place to open up a high-quality co-ed school, before eventually opening up single-sex schools for boys and girls. But school children in Rochester will never be able to enroll in the school as long as the state's cap on charter schools stays at 100. There are simply no more slots left for those who want to bring quality schools to communities throughout the state. See the TV news report here.
