In 2019, LACEPS led the organization through its initial programming efforts in family and civic engagement, hosting Family Summits, co-chairing candidate forums, and advocating for charter schools at local, state, and federal levels. These efforts brought together the leadership of the member schools to plan together and collectively engage charter-school families in civic issues. 

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, LACEPS became a crucial support system, facilitating collaboration among member schools to address unprecedented challenges such as transitioning to online learning, providing meals for students, and vaccinating families and staff. Our schools are more than academic institutions; they are hubs for families, support the mental and physical health and wellness of kids, provide regular meals, and care for kids before school starts in the morning and hours after the official school day ends. During the pandemic, these supports were given in different ways but this philosophy was never more true.
