Governor Pataki Pushes For More NYC Charters 

Under his plan, as reported today by Jennifer Medina of the New York Times, the number of charters would go to 250 from the 100 that have already been awarded. The Governor's proposal would also allow New York City to issue the charters in addition to the Board of Regents and State University of New York, which are currently the 2 bodies which authorize charter schools in the state.

This is important since the William E. Doar, Jr. Educational Foundation would like to open a performing arts charter school in New York.
