EVA MOSKOWITZ’S STATEMENT ON GOVERNOR HOCHUL’S PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE MORE CHARTERS TO NYC
New York, NY, February 1, 2023 — Statement from Success Academy Founder & CEO Eva Moskowitz in response to Governor Kathy Hochul’s proposal to provide for the opening of almost new 100 public charter schools in New York City, by freeing up upstate charters to be used anywhere in the state:
“Thank you Governor Hochul for giving families what they want: more high quality educational choices. Now Albany needs to get behind this common sense solution and ensure it becomes law — that kids win over politics.”

To date, 100% of SA’s graduates have been accepted to college, many to highly selective institutions. Most are the first in their families to have the opportunity for higher education. We regularly share our groundbreaking curriculum and methods with educators and school leaders across the country.
