New York City and Newark Charter Schools Receive Big Boost from Federal Government

http://www2.nysun.com/article/74229

On April 7, Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings will present an award to Civic Builders, Inc., an organization that finances, constructs, and renovates charter school buildings. The funds will be used to aid building efforts in New York City and Newark, N.J., charter schools. The grant comes as charter schools in the city face what officials at Civic Builders have termed a facility "crisis." The grant is part of a federal program aimed at making it more attractive for philanthropists to invest in charter school construction projects. The federal government has already awarded more than $175 million in grants to similar projects across the country.
