Dear Alma Community,
Charter public schools in Massachusetts, including ours, are under attack.
- The state continues to invest significantly less in facilities funding for our students as compared with district students.
- Bills have been filed that, if passed, would significantly reduce funding and would ultimately close schools.
- Last month, Governor Healey’s representative on the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education voted "no" on every charter public school item, ignoring the voices of families who depend on charter public schools for a better education.
Over the next several months, the charter community must aggressively fight back against these attacks in order to preserve our schools and the important, valuable options they provide students and families. Today, we are writing to ask for your partnership in the first collective action we can take to fight back.
The Governor is about to appoint two new Board of Elementary and Secondary Education members, and we must ensure the people appointed are willing to give charter schools a fair chance.
If thousands of people speak up now, we can make a difference.
Complete all three steps below as soon as possible.
✅ Step 1: Call the Governor’s Office
📞 Use our script to quickly make your voice heard.

Thank you,
Taylor DeLoach
Alma del Mar Executive Director
