Resolution Against Lifting the Cap on Commonwealth Charter Schools  WHEREAS, free public schools available to all students regardless of income, ability, need or English  language proficiency are foundational to our democracy; and  WHEREAS, all of our students deserve high‐quality public schools that teach the whole child, providing  enrichment and addressing social and emotional needs in addition to core academic subjects; and  WHEREAS, local accountability for our public schools is necessary to ensure that schools are responsive  to the needs of their communities; and  WHEREAS, the Acton‐Boxborough Regional School District is losing $357,500 to Commonwealth charter  schools and public school districts across the state are losing more than $408 million this year alone — a  loss of funds that is undermining the ability of districts to provide all students with the educational  services to which they are entitled; and  WHEREAS, Commonwealth charter schools are often approved over the objections of a majority of  community residents and their elected officials and are not accountable to local elected officials once  they are approved; and  WHEREAS, Commonwealth charter schools often fail to serve the same proportion of special needs  students, low‐income students and English language learners as the districts from which they receive  students and often use high suspension rates to drive out students they don’t want to serve; and  WHEREAS, the Commonwealth charter school system is creating separate and unequal opportunities for  success; and  WHEREAS, lifting the cap on charter schools would greatly worsen the problems listed above and lead to  a costly and divisive two‐track school system;  THEREFORE, be it resolved that the Acton‐Boxborough Regional School Committee opposes lifting the  cap on Commonwealth charter schools.    VOTED by the Acton‐Boxborough Regional School Committee on 9/15/16  For additional information and resources, visit massteacher.org/charterschools.
