Don't miss Connor Boyack and Sonja Shaw at CPC's Parents, Not Partisans Summit
Dear John,
As this election year heats up, it's more important than ever that parent advocates equip themselves with the tools needed to effectively mobilize on behalf of California families. That's why we're bringing together an all-star lineup of speakers for CPC's Parents, Not Partisans Summit in Sacramento on Tuesday, March 12—Wednesday, March 13, 2024.
On Tuesday, hear from Connor Boyack, president of the Libertas Institute and creator of the popular Tuttle Twins children's series, and Sonja Shaw, president of the Chino Valley Unified School Board!
Plus, CPC's Lance Christensen will moderate a series of panel discussions with some of California's most high-profile parental rights advocates and education reform leaders, and in-depth skill building sessions with grassroots and media strategists focused on:
- Grassroots Mobilization in an Election Year
- Grassroots Activism at Local School Boards
- Media Strategies for Parent Advocates
- Pushing Back against the Teachers’ Unions
- Parental Notification Policies, and more!

All this despite the fact that California public school enrollment is declining, and without — you guessed it — any accountability mechanisms tied to student achievement goals. CPC's Research Manager Sheridan Swanson breaks it down in her latest analysis here.
