Charter Schools Update

This information is form Charter Schools Develpoment Center regarding the Senate and Assembly Bills regarding Charter Schools:

Our collective advocacy is working! That’s why our opponents are pulling procedural tricks at the last minute.

Despite the author’s word, AB 84 has been resurrected and is back in play. In a last-minute maneuver, Senator Cortese (D – San Jose) has gut-and-amended (a term for overhauling the contents of a bill late in the process) SB 494 to include a one-year extension of the charter moratorium and a one-year extension to use verified data in charter renewals.

We can’t wait to stop fraud now! Our position is unchanged. CSDC and the charter school coalition is united and resolved:

❌ NO on AB 84
❌ NO on SB 494
✅ YES on SB 414

All three bills could face votes as soon as Friday, September 12 — the last day of session. We have just 48 hours to act.

Now is the time to support SB 414, by Senator Angelique Ashby. Senator Ashby is a charter school parent, a leader in the Senate, and a champion of sensible reforms that won’t take money from the classroom.
