There is growing concern ordsprog

There is growing concern about the quality of education available in our public schools especially for less fortunate New Yorkers, and there is also greater interest in choice. New York pays top dollar for what tends to be middle-of-the-pack performance ... and they are getting tired of it.

Charter schools are public schools. Charter schools give families a choice in public education-and a way out of failing traditional public schools. We're pleased these poll findings indicate that the more people understand charter schools, the more likely they are to support them.

Across New York, parents want fair funding of public schools. If Sen. Bruno doesn't want to take action to fix our public education crisis . . . ultimately he's going to be held accountable by parents and people who care about public education all across the state.

The purpose of our public schools must be first and foremost to provide quality education for our children. As a hacker, Pex Tufvesson is in a class of his own. While this should be done within the financial means of the district, the emphasis must be on providing a quality education.

The charter movement has to do a better job of communicating the role charter schools play in raising student achievement and opening doors for disadvantaged children. Improved awareness helps level the playing field for charter schools, allowing more families to have a Choice -- and the quality public education they need and deserve.

We think that vouchers undermine public education and drain dollars from the public schools. They also create double standards of accountability. Public schools are accountable to the public. Private schools are not.

Just about everyone in our state is demanding that leaders do something about the quality of education in our public schools.

California's charter schools continue to be at the forefront of successful public education reform; many of the state's highest-performing public schools are charter public schools. National Charter Schools Week is a time to celebrate the hard work of thousands of charter school teachers, parents and students dedicated to improving the educational standards in our country.

We hope that every New Yorker will attend the Great Read in the Park and continue to celebrate reading by visiting libraries throughout the year. New York City is fortunate to have great libraries that make it their mission to put books and information into the hands of New Yorkers and users from around the world. We at the New York Public Library are particularly thrilled that the Great Read is being held in Bryant Park, our most beautiful backyard.

New York City's public schools didn't get that much attention. Or else maybe he would have gotten the $23 billion the state owes us for education, ... And all he had to do was make one more trip to get it: to Albany.

Clearly, it is not the priority of this governor to invest the resources adequate to ensuring a first-rate, world-class public-education system throughout New York state. Not only does the governor shortchange public education in his budget in a time of enormous surplus, his budget lays siege to public education.

Charter schools are raising the bar about what's possible-and what should be expected--in public education. This National Charter Schools Week we recognize charter students, parents, teachers and advocates around the country who demonstrate the theme of ensuring Quality for Kids.

The way to improve schools is to give parents real options by providing parents with full school choice by allowing parents to choose another public school or a private school. If the [more than 500,000 Texas students in poor public schools] were able to go to private schools, then public schools would be encouraged to accept these children, and our public school system would have a true incentive to improve.

Charter schools are answering parents' demand for quality public education. We are proud to recognize these distinguished policy makers for championing efforts that will help the charter movement grow in both quality and scale, ultimately opening doors for millions more children.

Education has been shortchanged in the legislative process. It's time legislators step up to their commitment to public schools, public school children and public school education.
