 California and throughout the country. Trump’s Secretary of Education 
 Betsy Devos is continuing the complete privatization of education with 
 char- ters and destruction of public teacher jobs. The con- ference 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 ex- plosive $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 tar- geting senior teachers, African American, and 
 Lati-\n\nno teachers through workplace bullying and illegal confidentiality 
 agreements. They will also look at how teachers, parents and students can 
 fight back to protect their schools and futures. Lunch included. For
