CA SCHOOL CHOICE 2022 did not receive enough signatures to get on the ballot…but we are looking to revise the initiative and get it on the ballot for 2026!

Help is on the way! Here is another way to bring parent’s rights, school choice, and the freedom to choose the best public, charter or private school for your children. School choice funds can even be used for religious schools. Meet Michael Alexander, President of the California School Choice Foundation. Hear about the California School Choice Initiative for the 2022 statewide ballot that will create an Educational Savings Account for each K-12 child in California to be used at a school of the parent's choice. Mike will be sharing the opportunity before us to bring school choice to all the parents and students in our state! Find out more and learn how to get involved to make this happen at Californiaschoolchoice.org.
