The Choice Channel

“As Governor Patrick aims to reduce the achievement gap between white and minority students in public education (’Patrick targets gaps in learning,’ Page A1, June 23), his Readiness Report leaves out the most effective mechanism for improving education for all students in Massachusetts: school choice. Patrick’s plan does not include proposals for a school voucher plan, an education tax credit, or lifting the cap on the number of charter schools. School choice programs have granted access to better education for students across the United States.” (06/27/08)
