Indeed, “[t]he amount of money lost will grow: $100 million more the first year, more than $200 million the next year, more than $300 million the year after that, crippling our school system with every passing year,” according to the leading opposition group, Save Our Public Schools.

As commentator John Walsh wrote at Commonwealth in August:

This week, the No on Question 2 campaign called for the resignation of Paul Sagan, chairman of the state education board that approves and oversees charter schools in Massachusetts, after it was revealed that he donated $100,000 to the pro-charter effort.

“This reckless charter school ballot question sets no limits on the amount of money that Sagan and his board could unilaterally take from neighborhood public schools anywhere in the state,” said Juan Cofield, president of the New England Area Conference of the NAACP and chair of the Campaign to Save Our Public Schools. “This is a blatant power grab by a wealthy individual who wants to control billions of dollars in state and local education funds.”

Several Boston-based news and educational institutions hosted a debate on Question 2 on Tuesday afternoon, with former state representative Marty Walz, currently head of Marty Walz and Associates, speaking in favor and Boston City Councilor Tito Jackson arguing against the measure.
