Charters and traditional public share the same overall education budget. As more students flock to charter...the NYC DOE share of the budget for public decrease. Less money = less jobs to support.

Also if we are to believe the charters cost per student at 18kish (bit too low imo) vs 28k+ for the reg public, they are more cost efficient

Except they aren’t shown to do any better than public schools, so it’s not more efficient.

If we compare charter to unscreened public schools, charters will have them beat and possibly beat the screened publics in near future due to how weak the incoming classes now are due to admission changes.

Charter vs unscreen local are better comparison bc that's what's really available right now in disadvantage communities.

We already seeing more students flock to charters especially the asian demographics due to screened school admission changes.
