Senate Bill 414, authored by Sen. Angelique Ashby, D-Sacramento, and backed by charter school advocates, would have implemented dozens of changes to state law, including creating an education inspector general, adding new requirements for school audits and more strictly regulating school vendors. Earlier this year, charter school advocates had fought vigorously against Assembly Bill 84, another charter school accountability bill that was more extensive in scope and would have automatically reduced some charter schools' per-pupil funding based on how much in-person instruction they offer.
