Thank you for your interest in the official Children's Educational Opportunity Act of 2026 petition.

 

The Children’s Educational Opportunity Act (CEO Act) is a California statewide initiative set for the November 2026 ballot. It ensures that every TK to 12th grade student receives equal funding for all educational pathways, including public, charter, private, faith-based schools, and homeschooling. By addressing educational disparities, the act expands opportunities for all students, regardless of race, family income, or ZIP code.​

By passing this initiative...
(1) Parents establish an Education Savings Account (ESA) for their child

(2) Parents choose the best education option for their child

(3) Education expenses are covered under the ESA

(4) Unused ESA funds roll over annually and accrue interest

(5) ESA funds are usable throughout the student's lifetime

(6) ESA funds can be transferred to another ESA or donated to an eligible school

​​

But first we need nearly a million signatures to get it on the ballot!
