Summary
Education trailer bill
This opposition letter, brought to you by CPC’s Coalition to Defend Charter Schools, outlines amendments that would improve AB 126, an education trailer bill. As written, the bill could have costly fiscal implications for charter schools, specifically for nonclassroom-based charters which serve tens of thousands of students across California. These would reduce educational opportunities, limit family flexibility, and create barriers for the small, community-based providers that serve charter students, all without delivering meaningful gains in accountability or safety. Several provisions in the bill closely track language from last year’s AB 84 and SB 414, which stalled in the legislature and received a Governor’s veto, respectively. View the letter to see the amendments CPC requests.
