California teachers’ unions, school administrator associations, school boards, and the mostly non-profit California Charter Schools Association are joining together in a rare moment as they urge Gov. Jerry Brown to sign a bill that would ban for-profit charter schools in the state.
Assembly Bill 406 would “prohibit a petitioner that submits a charter petition for the establishment of a charter school … from operating as, or being operated by, as defined, a for-profit corporation, a for-profit educational management organization, or a for-profit charter management organization.”
The bill appears to target the nine non-profit California Virtual Academies (CAVA) and their affiliates, known as Insight Schools of California. The online schools have a relationship with K12 Inc., a national charter school company that is publicly traded and boasts an annual revenue of some $1 billion.
