State Education Commissioner John King is going out with a bang — recommending that Gov. Cuomo and the Legislature totally scrap restrictions on how many charter schools can open in New York.
"The cap shouldn't be an obstacle to opening high-quality schools," King, who is stepping down as New York's schools' chief to take a post in the Obama administration, told The Post. "One solution could be eliminating the cap completely."
Under state law, no more than 460 charter schools can operate throughout the state. But New York City, where most of the charter schools are located, is bumping up against its portion of the cap.
Most of the demand for charters is downstate, not upstate; 231 charters are operating or have been approved for the city. Under the cap, only 25 slots remain for the city despite pent-up parental demand.
Outside the city, 132 new charters can still open.
At the very least, King said, Albany could rearrange the cap to allow more charter schools to open in the city.
"Overall, charter schools have much to contribute to education in New York state and New York City in particular," King said.
