NEW YORK – APRIL 07: Administrator Luz Allah (center) helps translate admissions forms for Spanish-speaking parents Berenice Gonzalez (L), her daughter Nicole Cisneros (bottom) and Ruth Remache (R) after their children were chosen in an admissions lottery for the Achievement First charter school system April 7, 2009 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. Across the city, over 39,000 applications were submitted for 8,500 open public charter school seats, with admissions being handled by a public random lottery. Students not chosen are put on wait lists for the coveted spots. President Obama recently called for a lifting of the caps currently in place that limit charter schools expansion, which in New York often share school building space with regular public schools. Currently 115 charter schools operate in the state of New York, over half of them in New York City, with 30 more approved to open in the next 18 months. (Photo by Chris Hondros/Getty Images)
