NYC mayoral candidate Ray McGuire supports lifting charter-school cap

preview

Democratic mayoral candidate Ray McGuire wants to expand the number of New York City charter schools, he told The Post on Sunday.“We need to give our children the best education possible. I want to give parents a choice,” the ex-Citigroup executive said while accepting of Rep. Greg Meeks, the Queens Democratic leader.“No child’s future should be determined by&nbsp; their zip code. I want the best quality education in district&nbsp;schools, magnet schools, parochials, charter schools,” he said.“I want the best education for kids in any form — by whatever means necessary.”McGuire’s support for charter schools puts him at odds with many of his Democratic opponents; including Andrew Yang, Eric Adams, Scott Stringer and Maya Wiley — all of whom expressed support for the existing cap during a teachers’ union forum earlier this month, .

The situation in New York is serious,” he said. “There are candidates who have been running for decades, with well-documented government experience.”“To them I say, you had your chance and look at where we are. To them I say, we’re tired of passing the buck… We’re tired of excuses.”
