A school that families love!
LETTER FROM DR. SCHROEDER
GOALS ACADEMY GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE MEETING
There will be a GOALS Academy Governance Committee Meeting on Monday, September 16, at 5:30 p.m., in the Grade 3 classroom. We hope to see you there! Exciting times are ahead of us, and your support is invaluable!
STAND UP FOR CHARTER SCHOOLS!
A few of us from GOALS Academy have been attempting to fight the good fight alone. In part, we thought a small school likes ours would be safe from anti-charter legislation. We cannot be quiet any longer. The following is for your information from the California Charter School Association. Please become informed and get involved.
"A package of bills – AB 1505, AB 1506, and SB 756 – has been proposed by Sacramento politicians that could impact hundreds of high-quality charter schools like ours throughout the state. Each of these bills has passed out of the Education Committee, and we expect a vote by legislators on May 22. Taken together, these bills would eliminate the right of existing charter schools to appeal non-renewal decisions, grant districts broad and subjective discretion to deny new charter schools without regard to the quality of the new petition, and impose a two-year moratorium on new charter schools. Learn more and make your voice heard today by visiting www.standforallstudents.org now!"
