Gene Mullin, our local Assembly representative is the new Assembly Education Chair. Assemblyman Ira Ruskin from Redwood City will also be there.

If you have any questions about anything, don't hesitate to write. If you plan to attend, it would be really helpful if you could email Rebecca Chamow from CA Charter Schools Associations office in Sacramento (rebeccac@charterassociation.org).
