Senator Shapiro helps celebrate 15 years of Charter Schools Success in Texas
June 4, 2010
Plano Senator Florence Shapiro, a former teacher, supported charter schools 15 years ago when the legislature first charters in Texas. Today, as chair of the Senate Education Committee, she says Charters have shown themselves to be a positive, innovative force in public education. In and interview with KERA Radio in Dallas, Shapiro said “Charter schools have proven they shouldn't be apart from the Texas school system but should be a part OF the Texas school system. Charter schools are public schools. I repeat that over and over with my colleagues in the legislature, because they manage to forget that.”
