Examining California’s Parent Trigger Law is a new segment from NPR. Here is its description:

California’s new “parent trigger” law allows parents with children at a troubled public school to “trigger” one of four school intervention models simply by signing a petition. Parents in Compton have done that already. Gloria Romero, the former California state senator who wrote the law, offers her insight. And Rogers, professor and director of UCLA’s Institute for Democracy, Education and Access, says he thinks the challenges of funding school transformations could ultimately make the parent trigger law ineffective.
