Lowell students, faculty, parents urge end to cap on charter schools
BOSTON-- Middlesex Academy senior Nydia Ortiz credited her charter school with helping her make it to graduation day.
"Before I went to charter school, I didn't care," Ortiz said at the Statehouse yesterday, 43 days before she'll receive her diploma. "Now I'm here to support my school."
Faculty and parents from both Lowell charter schools, Lowell Middlesex Academy Charter School and Lowell Community Charter Public School, joined Ortiz and her 32 senior classmates yesterday, rallying with hundreds of other charter school advocates to raise the state's cap on charter-school funding.
A Challenge to Charter Schools
The February 5, 2009 Boston Globe editorial, "A challenge to charter schools" recognizes LMACS:
Patrick and the Legislature should raise the cap while instructing the Board of Education to call for and entertain only those charter school proposals with a mission to serve struggling students, such as the "second chance" Lowell Middlesex Academy Charter School.
