Meet us at:
2151 Michelson Drive.,
Irvine, CA 92612
Help us protect the OCBE and local decision-making!
The OCBE stands up for our children, our rights as parents, and school choice every day.
Help stand up for them!!
Let's engage in civics and express our views together. Bring the whole family—kids are welcome.
This is a friendly, peaceful protest.
Here's a summary of SB 907 and its impact:
1. SB 907 Overview
- SB 907 proposes to increase the Orange County Board of Education (OCBE) from 5 to 7 members and consolidate OCBE elections with the statewide general election in November of even-numbered years.
2. Key Points from Opposition
- The OCBE opposes SB 907, citing it as unnecessary interference in local control.
- They argue that Orange County already has the authority to adjust its board elections without state involvement.
- The bill's added costs, voter fatigue, and potential impact on education choice are major concerns.
3. Impact on charter schools and homeschooling
- SB 907's potential effects include increased election costs, complexity, and possible shifts in board priorities that could impact homeschooling policies and support for school choice.
In essence, SB 907's push for more board members and consolidated elections raises concerns about added costs, voter engagement challenges, and potential shifts in educational priorities affecting homeschooling and school choice in Orange County.
