When did Obama administration asks Congress to increase funding for charter schools by almost 50 percent?

And despite drawing repeated criticism from the Office of the Inspector General for suspected waste and inadequate financial controls within the federal Charter Schools Program—designed to create, expand, and replicate charter schools—the U.S. Department of Education (ED) is poised to increase its funding by 48% in FY 2016.

Thanks! I had no idea FedGov spent so much on Charter Schools. We should work to stop that funding. Private schools cannot be free and flourish until they dispose of Common Core mandates that come attached to that money.
