A state Assembly bill that is meant to prevent the abuses and close legal loopholes exposed in the A3 charter school scandal is facing fierce opposition from charter school leaders.
The bill, AB 1316, is a sweeping reform measure meant to fix weaknesses in state law that allowed executives from the statewide A3 charter school network to pocket more than $50 million of public funds funneled from charter schools.
In February A3 executives Sean McManus of Australia and Jason Schrock of Long Beach pleaded guilty to conspiracy to steal public dollars and agreed to cooperate with authorities to recover the stolen money.

SAN DIEGO
For weeks during the pandemic spring and summer of 2020, thousands of San Diego residents took to the streets around the county, protesting racial injustice and police misconduct in the wake of the May 25 killing of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.
Floyd’s excruciating death with then-officer Derek Chauvin’s knee on Floyd’s neck was captured on a now famous cellphone video that, once shared on social media, set off weeks of protests around the world.
What the demonstrators in San Diego did not know in those weeks was that a similar death had occurred months before, on the evening of Oct. 15, 2019, in the heart of downtown: 24-year-old Angel Zapata Hernandez had died while handcuffed and restrained at the hands of two Metropolitan Transit Service security workers, one of whom knelt on his neck for six minutes and seven seconds.
