After three branches of the NAACP in southern California called for the civil rights organization to lift a 2016 moratorium on charter schools in early May, it became clear that there was a difference of opinion within some branches of the NAACP.
On Wednesday, July 10, the state Senate Education Committee held a public hearing on Assembly Bill 1505, which would give local districts greater authority to approve or deny petitions for charter schools. AB 1505 has already passed the state Assembly and moved on to the Senate.
