Governor Baker Issues Statement on Massachusetts Ballot Question 2

​BOSTON—Tonight, Governor Charlie Baker released the following statement on the results of Massachusetts Ballot Question 2, to lift the cap on charter schools:

“I am proud to have joined with thousands of parents, teachers and education reformers in a worthwhile campaign to provide more education choices for students stuck in struggling districts, and while Question 2 was not successful, the importance of that goal is unchanged. I am proud that our administration has made historic investments in our public schools, expanded support for vocational schools and  proposed new solutions to make college more affordable.  I look forward to working closely with all stakeholders toward our common goal to ensure a great education for every child in Massachusetts, regardless of their zip code.”
