President Obama has proposed a budget for the next Fiscal year of 2017, which includes $350 million dollars for the Charter Schools Program. President and CEO of National Alliance, Nina Rees quotes: “Throughout his administration, President Obama has been a strong supporter of charter public schools. The charter school movement is grateful for the president’s support, and we applaud his final budget proposal, which provides critically needed funding for the Charter Schools Program (CSP). This funding will allow more high-quality charter schools to open, expand, and replicate, and allow more students to access the great education they deserve.” Click here to read article:
