Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itLamont claims the SDE has approved all charter school applicants, which is a specific verifiable assertion about state education policy that could be checked against SDE records of charter school applications and approvals.
What we foundThe claim that the State Department of Education approved anyone wanting to go forward with charter schools is contradicted by official Connecticut records showing multiple applications were denied and that approval is a selective, multi-criteria process.
