Hargraves, Wood, and Saboliauskas disagree on increasing charter school funding

DEVENS - At the debate here Monday night, Virginia Wood, the Democrat challenging state Rep. Robert Hargraves in Middlesex County's 1st District, disagreed with the lawmaker on whether to increase the funding for charter schools.

Asked whether the candidates would be expanding the 9 percent of the state school budget currently dedicated to charter schools, Wood, of Groton, said the state can't afford it.

"Yes, charter schools are great," she said, "as long as there are controls on them so that they achieve certain levels, but not all charter schools are doing that. Would I raise the 9 percent level? At this point in time, given our limited resources, probably not."

Hargraves, also of Groton, said he would increase spending, though only by 1 percent.

"I do support charter schools in this district and nearby," Hargraves said. "I know many of the students and parents personally and they have been very pleased with the results...I would certainly increase the 9 percent number, but not much, probably to 10 percent. But this experience is working."

Zachary Saboliauskas, an Independent and Northeastern student from Pepperell who is also in the race, said he supports expanding the funding.

"Charter schools are a good idea for the commonwealth," he said. "A lot of people support them, a lot of people are interested in them...I think charter schools are a good idea...[though] we need to do it slowly and we need to do it responsibly."
