Baker to help launch informational campaign on charter schools

Charter proponents and opponents in Massachusetts have engaged in a bitter debate for years, looking at the same education landscape and drawing vastly different opinions and facts to make their cases for an against additional charters, which operate independently from local school committee oversight.
