Walker gives charter more chance

Gov. Scott Walker just gave a boost to the Urban League of Greater Madison?s intriguing proposal for an all-male charter school.As part of his state budget address late Tuesday afternoon, Walker said he wants to let any four-year public university in Wisconsin create a charter school for K-12 students. That gives the Urban League of Greater Madison a second potential partner for its proposal, should the Madison School Board reject the League?s idea. Partnering with the Urban League on the innovative school could potentially help UW-Madison attract more minority students.
