Parents who pushed to reopen schools create nonprofit

A group of parents who pushed for California public schools to reopen during the pandemic are now forming a nonprofit organization to influence state education policy, according to the Los Angeles Times.

The group, OpenSchoolsCA, is led by Megan Bacigalupi, a parent in Oakland Unified and an attorney who previously worked at the mayor’s office in New York City. Advisers include current and former local school board members and a charter school consultant and advocate, David Castillo.
