🚨 SCA 5 ACTION ALERT 🚨

Tomorrow is a critical day for California charter school students.

SCA 5 is expected to be heard and potentially voted on by the full California Senate tomorrow.

If approved by the Senate, it will move to the Assembly. If it ultimately receives a two-thirds vote in both houses of the Legislature, it bypasses the Governor entirely and goes directly to California voters as a proposed constitutional amendment.

The concern is simple: SCA 5 would create a new education funding mechanism that excludes charter school students and students attending Basic Aid districts from receiving its benefits.

Today and tomorrow, we need California families, educators, community partners, vendors, and supporters to make their voices heard.
