Parents from the Success Academy charter schools advocated to increase the so-called charter cap following a week-long series of meetings with state lawmakers.

The charter cap is the statutory limit of the number of charter schools that can open in New York State. Currently, that number is 460 schools with a smaller sub-cap for New York City.
