GOALS ACADEMY
A school that families love!
SUPPORT FOR QUALITY 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!"
