Charter public schools across California are officially back from summer break. And they wasted no time taking to social media to showcase their enthusiasm about the upcoming year. What we love about these pictures is that they perfectly capture the joy, rigor, and diversity of the charter community in our state. Here’s a look at some of our favorites from this back to school season.
