Vote No on Question #2

This year, charter schools will drain over $450 million from district public school budgets including more than 1.4 million from the Amherst-Pelham schools.  Charters schools tend to educate fewer English language learners and special needs students, and aren’t overseen by elected school boards. That’s why the NAACP, over 180 School Committees (including ours in Pelham), Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, Senator Elizabeth Warren, and Attorney General Maura Healey are recommending that people vote NO on question 2. Before we expand charter schools, we need to ensure that our district public schools, which serve ALL students, are fully funded.
