Assembly Bill 84, a bill in the California Legislature, would block flex-based charter schools from partnering with local enrichment providers, writes Cynthia Rachel, director of communications and development for Innovative Education Management, which operates South Sutter, Ocean Grove and Sky Mountain charter schools. She believes the bill, set for a vote Wednesday, would harm thousands of students in rural and coastal areas like Santa Cruz County who rely on personalized, community-driven education. She urges lawmakers to vote against it.
