After a few years of a political and legislative truce among the titans of education politics, the charter community, and organized labor, contentious debate has resumed in Sacramento. Two bills covered issues as varied as Verified Data and district’s ability to preserve their financial health with the ability to deny a petition based on fiscal impact. This session provides insights into the political environment and potential ways charter school law may be impacted in the future. The discussion will also cover charter school renewals and how current law is being implemented.
