Good morning.

(Here’s the sign-up, if you don’t already get California Today by email.)

The Los Angeles teachers’ strike is over. Mayor Eric Garcetti even put to bed speculation that he was planning a presidential run — speculation that had been fed in part by his late moves to help negotiate a deal to end the strike.

But debates about the role charter schools should play in educating California’s children haven’t simmered down. Once again, Jennifer Medina, my colleague who’s been covering the issue on the ground here in L.A., has the latest:

There were two key votes on the agenda for the Los Angeles Board of Education on Tuesday. The first, to approve the contract deal reached last week to end the six-day teachers’ strike — passed unanimously.

The vote that received far more attention, drawing hundreds of protesters and hours of public comment, was more symbol than policy: a resolution calling on the state to enact a moratorium on new charter schools while studying their impact.

The resolution has no legal impact; only the State Legislature has the authority to enact a moratorium or any other strict limits on charter schools. Ever since the deal was announced, charter school supporters have been playing defense, making a huge effort to persuade the school board to defeat the resolution. Such a defeat would have undermined Austin Beutner, the superintendent, who has consistently said he supports charter schools, but was willing to agree to the side deal on charter schools to end the strike.
