With a record number of new legislators taking office this winter, the stakes couldn’t be higher for charter schools in the State Capitol. CSDC urgently calls on every member school to send at least one staff or board member to this critical webinar series. The insights you’ll gain—and share with your team—could make the difference in protecting your school’s mission and ensuring charter schools remain a critical option in California’s public education system.
New representatives will shape policies that directly impact your school’s funding, operations, and ability to serve students. Many have limited understanding of charter schools but are eager to support teachers, families, and students. This is a critical opportunity to engage early, build relationships, and ensure they understand the role your school plays in offering innovative and equitable education.
Opposition groups are already mobilizing to push for restrictive policies and deepen the funding gap between charter and traditional public schools. If we don’t act now, their voices could dominate the conversation.
