I have a question about New York schools based on this.
It sounds like one building might house 2 or so "schools". Is this so?
Down here in the sticks, we are used to school referring to the building as well as the institution inside. But, if in NYC it means multiple charter schools inside one building, it starts making more sense.

I can't help you on that one. In Cambridge, we have a Spanish-English immersion school that is small, and so always housed in a larger school. So the building has two schools.
Charter schools are a way to undermine public education and unions. They take space from public schools. They don't answer to the same rules.
A charter school housed in the same building as a public hs in Queens has smart boards, computers, all modern facilites. They also hand select their students. The public school is deemed a failing school and the mayor wants to close it.
Our brilliant mayor creates multiple mini schools in big school buildings. He increases the number of administrators but does nothing to help the kids. It is a farce.
