By Vanessa Alessi

 As charter school supporters, we sometimes take for granted what people know and understand about the important role charter schools play. However, there is a large population of families in California who are unfamiliar with charter schools. And with anti-charter groups becoming more vocal and spreading misinformation, it’s important for all of us to do as much as we can to tell our story: charter schools put kids first!

Here are three simple ways you can support charter public schools this month:

  1. Share this video and use our suggested social media copy:

  2. Help spread the truth about charters and special education.
    Complicated regulations around special education have led to a narrative that suggests charter schools do not serve students with disabilities. Share these 3 facts you should know about charter schools & special education on Facebook or Twitter.
  1. Donate to CCSA Families
    Even a $5 donation can help strengthen California public education through civic engagement and participation so that no child is denied the right to a great public education. Your contributions to CCSA Families will support our efforts in civic engagement in elections.
