Walton Family Foundation Invests $15 Million to Expand Parental Choice in California
More than 200,000 new students have been able to choose to enroll in a public charter school in California since 2003. That’s why the Walton Family Foundation is investing $15 million in the California Charter Schools Association (CCSA), with the goal of giving 100,000 additional children the ability to attend a high-quality public charter school over the next three years. The grant is the largest single investment made by the foundation to a state charter school association and is based on CCSA’s proven track record of expanding parental choice in California.
