1. Starting in the Senate
Former California Senator Gloria Romero made her mark in the legislature by leading education reforms to empower parents and provide children with greater school choice. After leaving the legislature, she focused her energies on helping parents utilize the Parent Trigger Law she authored in order to convert their under-performing schools to charter status.
2. Meeting of the Minds
By way of a mutual acquaintance, former Senator Romero and long time educator and veteran charter school operator Jason Watts met to discuss ways to make a lasting positive impact on families by expanding high quality school choice options in southern California. After meeting with a small group of families from the Oceanside community, our founders realized their was a need for more high quality schools...and Scholarship Prep could fill that need.
