Note: Old Town Academy is a non-profit and, though we may hold candidates’ forums from time to time, we do not endorse one candidate over another; but now that the election is over we can report results that affect Charter School Parents. Here is an update from the CA Charter Schools Association, which advocates for Charter Schools.

Dear Charter School Parents:

Election Day has come and gone. The results are in, and Kevin Beiser has been re-elected to the San Diego Unified school board! We are very excited by this outcome and look forward to President Beiser’s continued leadership on the Board on behalf of both charter and traditional public school students.  We also want to congratulate another CCSA Advocates endorsed candidate, Dr. Mike McQuary, who was also elected to the San Diego Unified school board.We wish to congratulate Kevin on his election and to thank him for his hard work and dedication to the children of San Diego. In the coming days, we will be reaching out to Kevin, Mike and other members of the Board to discuss ways of finding common ground to provide high-quality educational opportunities to all children in the County.

We have a lot to be proud of in this election. From phone-banking and canvassing to spreading the word and voting, our staff and many of you did a lot of work to re-elect Kevin to office. We want to thank everyone who contributed to these efforts.

With this election completed, we look ahead to continue to promote further positive change on school boards and in the state legislature. We firmly believe that every student in California has the right to a high-quality public education and to educational choice. We are committed to supporting candidates who have that same vision.

To stay involved in our efforts, please sign up for the CCSA Advocates newsletter. Once again, thank you for everything you do to support all children in San Diego.

Sincerely,
Miles Durfee
California Charter Schools Association Advocates
