66 percent support more charter schools

Charter school proponents on Monday morning were promoting new poll results showing voters in the Boston area support lifting caps on the number of charter schools by a nearly three to one margin.

There are 22 charter schools in Boston that serve more than 7,700 students but thousands more are on wait lists and the city is “frozen” to new charters, according to the Massachusetts Charter Public School Association, which circulated the results of a survey conducted by TheMassINC Polling Group.
