Boston Renaissance Charter plans to move into $39 million complex
FromThe Boston Globe: Boston Renaissance Charter Public Schoolplans to move to a $39 million complex that is being built. Construction is a pricey endeavor for charters, which must rely on fund-raising and loans because Massacusetts law prevents them from raising local property taxes to pay for construction and from receiving money through the state’s school-construction reimbursement program. The pace of construction in the charter school sector should quicken even more with last month’s enactment of a state law that calls for a dramatic increase in the number of charter schools in Boston and other cities.
