Your action is needed NOW to fully fund the charter school facility grant program!

The Charter School Facility Grant Program (CSFG) helps eligible serving low-income students pay for the facilities.

The program has been oversubscribed every year since 2020—meaning schools already receive less than they are owed—and the governor's May Revision cuts the program even further.

Here are two things you can do to ensure charter students have access to safe, functional learning environments:

1️⃣ Take two minutes to ask your State Senator, Assemblymember, and the Governor to fully fund the program. Our advocacy tool helps you quickly identify your elected reps and features draft language to make this quick! https://www.chartercenter.org/fund-sb740

2️⃣ Share this post! Encourage your network to speak out against the proposed cuts and to take action above.
