It's long past time for that to change - and not just because these limits are all about appeasing the anti-charter teachers unions, but to give more New York kids access to a better education.
The state still has room to add 84 more charters before it reaches its 460-school limit, but New York City, which fields 282 charters, has already hit its ceiling.
Hochul should demand an immediate fix to this flaw, along with a cap lift and fair funding for all charters.
Last year (much like most years), charter-school kids outperformed those in regular public schools by 9 percentage points on the state English test and 13 points in math.
