Assembly Bill 84 has the potential to reduce school choice across California by making key changes to public charter schools in the state. Charter school communities and local advocacy groups are already calling on parents and teachers to speak out and oppose this bill. But what exactly would it change, and why should we care? I’m your host Tess Abraham, and we will be covering the education landscape in our state, how this bill would affect charters, and how you can get involved on this week’s episode of The California Conversation.
