Charter Queen goes Hollywood

Early this year, Senator Gloria Romero led a bi-partisan coalition that pulled off a rare feat in Sacramento – they put kids first. And it couldn’t have happened without education supporters like you.
Watch the new EdVoice documentary that chronicles the fight to empower parents to turnaround failing schools and to bring more great teachers into our classrooms.

Watch Senator Romero in the new EdVoice documentary!

Thanks to thousands of letters, phone calls and visits to legislative offices, California answered President Obama’s call for bold reform in the Federal Race to the Top. Thanks to the effort, kids stuck in schools that have failed their communities for decades will have a way out to a better public school. Real change will be mandatory in school turnarounds – rearranging the deck chairs will no longer be an option. And parents will have power to make this happen in their communities.
