Grateful to @quality_schools for hosting this year's Bold by Choice Summit and for the opportunity to join so many passionate education leaders committed to expanding opportunity for students across the country.

Thank you to everyone who attended. #BoldbyChoiceSumm

[Gary Larson @garylarson07]

Why does so much education messaging fail to land?

My April 28 session will unpack what I’ve learned from some of the toughest charter communications fights in the country and why so many well-intentioned strategies fall short before they even begin.

We value the opportunity to help bring these stories to life.

@CharterGrowth continues to invest in leaders and networks that are expanding access to high-quality schools for tens of thousands more students every year.

[Larson Communications @LarsonPR]

The new annual report from @CharterGrowth highlights a record-breaking year of investment, expanding access to high-quality public education for 100,000+ add'l students.

LC is proud to partner with CSGF to help elevate the impact of charter schools.

Strong leadership in education is always about playing the long game, and fewer people exemplify that better than Michael Piscal.

This @nypost story highlights how College Achieve Public Schools (CAPS) in NJ continues to scale impact without losing sight of its mission.

[Larson Communications @LarsonPR]

College Achieve Public Schools (CAPS) has grown from one school in New Jersey to an expanding network serving more than 4,000 students. CEO Mike Piscal recently shared his future-forward approach to education with @nypost.

Congratulations to our Aspire Public Schools Central Valley partners after three Aspire schools in Stockton (APEX, LHA, PCA) recently earned renewals.

LC collaborated with Aspire to ensure school leaders were prepared to deliver strong presentations on the school’s behalf.

[Gary Larson @garylarson07]

This is the kind of win that drives our work.

Helping elevate stories like NLCP's recent “D9 Takeover”— where students see what’s possible through mentorship and representation — is exactly why we do what we do.

[Larson Communications @LarsonPR]

Our partners at @NLCP_Lawndale recently welcomed HBCU fraternities and sororities for a powerful “D9 Takeover” that brought mentorship, stepping, and college inspiration directly to NLCP scholars.

Very fortunate to spend this past week with so many brilliant charter school leaders the 2026 @CALcharters Conference.

A special thank you to my co-presenters (Teren, Vanessa and Caprice) for an awesome session. Very lucky that I get to partner with each of you in this work.

[Gary Larson @garylarson07]

I am thrilled to get to do this with Caprice, Teren and Vanessa.

It's going to be an energizing week, and I can't wait. #CCSA2026 @CALcharters

[Larson Communications @LarsonPR]

Our team will be at next week's @CALcharters Conference connecting with charter leaders and advocates from all over California and beyond.

Gary Larson will moderate a session with a few of our partners highlighting how leaders can proactively overcome obstacles. #CCSA2026

[Gary Larson @garylarson07]

Congratulations to everyone on the Aspire team on this great win.

And way to go @MissMurtagh for guiding this group and this effort.

This is a job well done by everyone involved and a very good day for students and families in Sacramento.

[Larson Communications @LarsonPR]

We're excited to celebrate a big win for Sacramento students. 🎉

Our partners at @Aspire Capitol Heights Academy won an appeal this week to have their charter renewed following months of preparation and community mobilization, which LC supported with input from leaders.

[Gary Larson @garylarson07]

Congrats to GALS LA for creating incredible opportunities for young girls to lead and thrive through sports. I am also especially grateful to teammate @emmamccownpr for her dogged work and collaboration with the GALS team to shine a brighter light on their success. #NGWSD2026

Congrats to Gabriella Charter Schools on a successful renewal in LA.

Renewals keep getting tougher, but supporting a school making a real difference for kids is always worth it.

Grateful to work with their team — and to Molly O’Brien & @emmamccownpr for their comms support.

Orange County School of the Arts leaders say the charter school could go bankrupt if it has to pay $16 million, which Santa Ana Unified says is owed for special education services per state law.
