New Bills to Support Heins thanked delegates for their work in considering and taking action on approximately 300 bills to provide students with the public education they need and deserve. In particular, several of these bills fight the problems pre- sented by privately managed charter schools that siphon funds from public education. This new package of bills — SB 756, AB 1505, AB 1506 and AB 1507 — will give local communities, dis- tricts and school boards more control over charter authorization and renewal, and implement a cap on the number of charters and a moratorium on their proliferation (see story on page 38). CTA's new leadership team (clockwise from left): E. Toby Boyd, David B. Goldberg, Leslie Littman. Their terms begin June 26.
