With legislators considering Gov. Hochul’s plan to allow more charter schools into New York City, Big Apple moms and dads reveal how charters provide much-needed opportunity.
As New York’s first public school that caters specifically to students with literacy disorders, Bridge Preparatory Charter School on Staten Island was a natural choice for Volpe’s daughter, Violetta, who has dyslexia and other language-based learning disabilities.
“She used to write north and south, for lack of a better term,” said Volpe, 55, of Staten Island’s Grasmere neighborhood. “She would write vertically only.” “CQA, like most charter schools, has smaller student-to-teacher ratios,” she said. “This allows for the educators and additional staff to address the needs of all students, and have one-to-one relationships with them and parents and guardians.”
“Charter schools are communities that will work with you to help build a solid foundation and continuous growth,” Ochoa said. “Charters are a great starting point, but parents must also be active participants in the education process.”To Efrem Barriteau, a single father of three, Gov. Hochul’s charter expansion push to eliminate the geographic barriers of the New York state cap simply makes sense.
