Mayor de Blasio signed a bill Tuesday to require the city to publish reports detailing the demographics and academic records of all charter schools co-located with traditional public schools.

Officials will have to spell out the number of kids who get free lunch, proportion of kids learning English and special education students, racial breakdown, and test scores at the schools involved in the controversial co-locations.

“Reports will be a valuable tool for parents [and] educators,” de Blasio said.
