Cuomo's plan for education supports charter schools. He wants to build more charter schools, but in selective areas. "Cuomo said he would require charter schools to increase their enrollment of special education and English language learning students."He's going to use other school fundings to put his plan into action. Cuomo plans to "steer more dollars to struggling, inner-city schools, and continues to struggle'to secure that money even after the Supreme Court ruled that New York’s funding formula was unconstitutional."Cuomo doesn't mention how he will improve tests or scores. I dislike this idea. Charters school do not benefit students as much as public schools. In charter schools, students stay in a school from K-12 grade. They wont develop the social skills that's students who change schools form. Paladino and Cuomo both want to build more charter schools. However, their plans to construct them are different.
