Mayor Bill de Blasio, seeking to curb the influence of outside providers of education, said on Thursday that he
would block three charter schools from using space inside New York City public school buildings
Still, Mr. de Blasio, who was a strident critic of charter schools during his bid for mayor last year, showed signs of compromise. In reviewing 49 proposals to share school space approved under Mr. Bloomberg, he left untouched a majority of plans affecting charter schools.
His position
puts him at odds with fellow Democrats, including President Obama and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York, who has helped expand the schools across the state.
