The Accelerating Charter Schools Act (H422): A Call to Action

A Major Milestone Achieved and the Journey Ahead

We have some exhilarating news to share with all of our dedicated supporters and advocates for charter schools! In a significant step forward, the Accelerating Charter Schools Act (Bill H422) has successfully passed through the House Education Committee, receiving overwhelming support with only two dissenting votes from Representatives Galaviz and Berch.
