California Lawmakers Extend Moratorium for Online Charter Schools
California lawmakers have extended a moratorium on non-classroom based charters to 2025.
AB 130, a multibillion-dollar educational budget bill, mandates that no new online charter schools are allowed to open until at least 2025. However, it does not hinder operations of existing online charters.
The existing moratorium was enacted by AB 1505 by Assemblyman Patrick O’Donnell (D-Long Beach), and was originally set to expire Jan. 1, 2022.
“That is a continuation of the incessant multi-year effort of public education to level down, or to impose on charter schools, the same fetters that have made the rest of education mediocre and California mediocre to a failure,” Senator Jim Nielsen (R-Tehama) told The Epoch Times.

On a scale of one to ten, hiking up Cowles Mountain was a bit of a challenge. For me, an eight, six-year-old Joaquin Santaruse said.
He, his brother, and two buddies zig-zagged up San Diego s highest peak Wednesday to get away.
