California legislators have seen their efforts to slow down the charter school movement fall short in recent weeks, after families and school choice advocates voiced their opposition. But despite this win for charter school families, advocates believe the battle isn’t over.
AB 1506, authored by Assemblymember Kevin McCarty (D-Sacramento), sought to impose a cap on the number of new charter schools on the district level, while SB 756, authored by Senator Maria Elena Durazo (D-Los Angeles), hoped to impose a two-year moratorium, which would slow down the charter school opening process.
