California’s Education Governance Reset

California has just enacted what may be the most consequential change to the state’s public education system in more than a century.

What does this historic TK–12 governance reform mean for students, families, educators, and communities—and what happens next?

Join the California Education Promise Alliance, Children Now, Policy Analysis for California Education (PACE), EdTrust—West, Para Los Niños, and Families In Schools for a timely conversation about the new governance structure, the implementation timeline, and the opportunities and challenges ahead.

Hear directly from Brooks Allen of the Governor’s Office, Lupita Cortez Alcalá of PACE, Ted Lempert of Children Now, and Yolie Flores of Families In Schools as we unpack the reform and discuss how advocates, education leaders, family engagement professionals, and parents can help shape its implementation.

The law has changed. Now the real work begins.
