AB 84 Threatens Student Success: We Must Act Now
As a united coalition of parents, teachers, students, and taxpayers, we stand together to protect educational choice and equity for all students in California. Assembly Bill 84 is a deeply flawed proposal that would slash funding by up to 30% for non-classroom-based public schools while tripling oversight costs and forcing small, dedicated authorizers out of the picture. It imposes unfair double standards that target charter schools, creating a massive new bureaucracy without solving any proven problem. This bill threatens programs that are lifelines for students who don’t thrive in traditional settings—students facing learning challenges, personal hardships, or safety concerns. If AB 84 passes, countless families and at-risk students will lose access to the flexible, personalized education children need to graduate and succeed. We cannot let that happen.
Email your legislator today and urge them to vote NO on AB 84. Our children’s futures are at stake.
The Negative Effects of AB 84
We are a growing statewide coalition of parents, educators, students, and concerned taxpayers standing up for educational equity, innovation, and student success. Together, we are sounding the alarm on Assembly Bill 84 (AB 84)—a harmful and unnecessary piece of legislation that threatens the future of tens of thousands of California students who rely on non-classroom-based, personalized learning public schools.
AB 84 would cut funding by up to 30% for schools that specialize in serving students who don’t fit the traditional model. At the same time, it would triple oversight costs, force many schools to find new authorizers unfamiliar with their programs, and impose a one-size-fits-all bureaucratic system that undermines flexibility, innovation, and access. Even worse, AB 84 targets these schools with double standards not applied to traditional districts running similar programs, creating an uneven playing field for students who need the most support.
The personalized learning model works. In fact, 88% of students in these schools succeed, with many going on to graduate, enroll in college, join the military, or start careers. Even among students who don’t stay long term, 16% return to their traditional schools stronger, more confident, and ready to thrive—a testament to the critical support these programs provide. AB 84 doesn’t fix a broken system—it destroys a working solution. It punishes success, undermines choice, and risks leaving tens of thousands of vulnerable students without a path forward.We believe every student deserves the chance to succeed—no matter their background, challenges, or learning style. Join us in urging lawmakers to reject AB 84 and protect educational options that change lives.

Take Action: Tell Lawmakers to Vote NO on AB 84
Assembly Bill 84 threatens to dismantle critical educational opportunities for over 64,000 students across California who rely on non-classroom-based, personalized learning programs. This bill would slash funding by up to 30%, impose costly and unnecessary oversight fees, and force schools to navigate new bureaucratic hurdles that do nothing to improve student outcomes. These programs serve students who don’t thrive in traditional classrooms—youth facing learning challenges, safety concerns, trauma, or family responsibilities. AB 84 punishes success and puts vulnerable students at risk.
