Charter schools have a proven track record of helping our most vulnerable students achieve academic success and are a lifeline for families eager for great public schools. 

Governor Newsom and Superintendent of Public Instruction Thurmond announced the creation of a Charter Task Force charged with reviewing California’s Charter Schools Act to identify what’s working and what needs to be changed within the charter school sector. The Task Force is meeting over the next several weeks before making recommendations to the Governor. 

The Charter Task Force Needs to hear from you! Email them today and remind them that students shouldn’t be denied the opportunity to receive a great public education.

Dishonest and shameless rhetoric is being spread that directly attacks charter public school communities. We need the Task Force to have a clear understanding of the success of charter schools and their role in our education system.  

This is not about charter schools versus traditional district schools. It is about making sure all students have access to great schools.

We must work together to balance the needs of local school districts, with the needs of our students who deserve access to high-quality schools. This is especially important for families who wouldn’t have access to great public schools it weren’t for charter schools.

California’s charter school law and authorizing need to be strengthened and modernized, but changes can’t come at the expense of our kids.

The needs of students should always come before politics. Ensure your voice is heard by emailing the task force today.
