According to today’s New York Post<\/a>, the Obama Administration has cut $700 million dollars which would have gone to supporting New York’s charter school movement.  The United Federation of Teachers<\/a>, which opposes the charter school movement is seen as the victor in this action.  <\/p>\n

The Obama Administration’s track record on vouchers and charter schools is not good.  On December 14, 2009, the Washington Post<\/a> reported that included in the omnibus spending bill passed by Congress was the end of the Washington Opportunity Scholarship Program.  Senators Joseph I. Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) proposed a bipartisan measure for a reauthorization of this program, but I could not find any reference to this proposal.  In the House, Thomas.gov<\/a> reported on H. R. 4312, which proposed to fund the voucher program in Washington, D. C.  The status of the bill is currently listed as: Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.<\/p>\n
