DESCRIPTION:Registration: 9:30 AM. The survival of public education is now at stake in 
 California and throughout the country. Trump’s Secretary of Education 
 Betsy Devos is continuing the complete privatization of education with 
 charters and destruction of public teacher jobs. The conference will look 
 at how the charter industry and the California Charter School Association 
 is breaking up public education through “co-locations” and the rampant 
 fraud, corruption, and scams, with an explosive $6 billion being spent on 
 charters. It will also look at how the California State Teachers’ 
 Retirement System (calSTARS) is threatened by charter schools. Speakers 
 will also look at how Peer Assistance and Review Program (PAR) and other 
 programs are targeting senior teachers and African American, and Latino 
 teachers through workplace bullying and illegal confidentiality agreements. 
 They will also discuss how teachers, parents and students can fight back to 
 protect their schools and futures. Lunch included. For pre-registration,
