❌ What’s Wrong With AB 84?
AB 84 pretends to address fraud, but it’s really a sweeping attack on California’s non-classroom-based (NCB) charter schools, the families who rely on them, and the educators who serve them. AB 84 imposes sweeping new restrictions and funding penalties on non-classroom-based (NCB) charter schools. It will:
Slash Funding by up to 30% for NCB schools using independent study, hybrid, and virtual models
Triple Oversight Fees, diverting money from classrooms to bureaucracy
Block New Charter Growth, even where parent demand is high
Crush Innovation by limiting enrichment and learning programs like STEM, music, languages, and therapies
Imposes Rigid Formulas: Ties funding to physical seat time—penalizing students who thrive in alternative learning settings.
Hurt Small Businesses that partner with charters to support learning
Discriminate Against Flexible Learning Models, despite no widespread fraud
Targets Vulnerable Students: Disproportionately harms at-risk, minority, special needs, and rural students.
📉 Why This Matters
· $210+ Million in Cuts to charter school funding and $100M in new bureaucracy won’t help students—it will close schools.
Zero Evidence of widespread fraud
Hurts 88% of Students in successful personalized learning programs. These charter students succeed—graduating, returning to traditional schools better prepared, or advancing to college/careers.
AB84 Destroys Parent Choice and education flexibility
🔴 California ranks as low as 49th in the nation in K-12 education outcomes.
Instead of cracking down on innovative, successful schools that families are choosing, the Legislature should be fixing the system that’s failing students. AB 84 is not about accountability—it’s about control. It puts union and bureaucratic interests above the wellbeing of children and families.
📣 Take Action NOW
Tell your legislator: VOTE NO or ABSTAIN on AB 84.
