Decisions are being made right now that will impact your school, your students, your teachers, and your funding for years to come. The only question is: Will your voice be in the room?
With 37 new legislators in Sacramento—nearly one-third of the Assembly and Senate combined—this is your chance to shape how new leaders see charter schools. These lawmakers don’t know your school, your students, or the life-changing work of your teachers – yet. If you don’t tell your story, someone else will tell it for you. Who will tell your story – and what will it tell? Register for CSDC’s Advocacy 301 now:

You Can React—Or You Can Shape the Future
The best charter leaders don’t just run great schools—they shape the policies that make their schools possible. Advocacy isn’t an “extra task”—it’s part of leading a successful school and is part of daily leadership.
Your students need you in the fight for California’s charter schools. You fight for them every day inside your school. Now fight for them at the state level.
Your teachers deserve a champion. Lawmakers need to hear how policies impact recruitment, retention, and compensation.
Your funding, facilities, and autonomy are on the line: charter schools already operate on fewer dollars per student than traditional public schools. If you’re not at the table, you’ll be on the menu.
This Isn’t a Webinar—This Is Your Next Leadership Move
At Advocacy 301, we’ll give you the tools to:
✅ Drive the narrative about your school and the students you serve.
✅ Lead high-impact legislative meetings that get results.
✅ Write persuasive letters of support or opposition that legislators actually read.
This Is Bigger Than You—It’s About the Future of Charter Schools
You can sit back and hope for the best, or you can step up and make sure lawmakers hear from the people who know charter schools best—charter school leaders.
🔹 Will you let others decide the future of charter schools without you?
🔹 Will you step up and lead beyond your campus?
The choice is yours. Register now!
Let’s make sure Sacramento hears our voices—because nothing about us should be decided without us.
