STATEMENT FROM NYC CHARTER SCHOOL CENTER CEO JAMES MERRIMAN ON MAYOR DE BLASIO’S COMMENTS ON CHARTER SCHOOL ACHIEVEMENT
(New York, NY) Please credit the following statement to James Merriman, CEO of the New York City Charter School Center:
“We get by now that the mayor doesn’t like charter schools and that he seems constitutionally incapable of hiding it. But it is ungraceful and mean-spirited to show his contempt by belittling the record number of students of color who worked so hard to master the common core standards as this year’s state test results reflect.
