21:56Now PlayingThe battle over charter schools is heating up after New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio blocked three privately run charter schools from using rentfree space inside public schools. The city also announced it will cut $210 million in charter school construction funding and use the money toward universal preK and afterschool programs. The moves have set off a fierce debate in New York and the country and have even pitted de Blasio against New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, a fellow Democrat. We are joined by former public school teacher Brian Jones and Steve Barr, founder of the Green Dot Public Schools, a charter school network.
