BOSTON — There will be no increase in the number of charter schools allowed to operate in the Bay State, as voters defeated a ballot initiative that would have paved the way for the annual statewide authorization of up to 12 new charters per year.
Great Schools Massachusetts, the group that pushed for the increase, released a statement shortly before 10:30 p.m.
Exit polling conducted Tuesday by Morning Consult revealed that voters are anxious of both Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump.
