#ab1505 requires a plan for how a charter school will serve a balance of special education students similar to the school district. #KidsNotProfits @ California State Capitol https://t.co/eTQYIGz029

[Julian Peeples @CTAjulian]

I just don’t understand how anyone can logically argue that this is acceptable.

Our students need charter accountability NOW. #ab1505 #KidsNotProfits

[Kids Not Profits @KidsNotProfits]

#AB1505 will help fix CA's broken charter laws. Call your State Senator at 855-977-1770 & urge them to vote YES on #AB1505! #KidsNotProfits

[California Teachers Association @WeAreCTA]

The lack of oversight of #charterschools has robbed students in neighborhood public schools millions of dollars. We must fix these broken charter laws. #AB1507 #KidsNotProfits

"After years of being told what to do by lawmakers, teachers say they want to start making the laws themselves." And now we will! #Vote4Ed https://t.co/e66xJE2SRg
