Appreciate seeing progress made with LCFF, but there's still much work to be done to fully deliver on its promise of equity and transparency for underserved communities. Let's keep pushing for meaningful change and continue improving the system. edsource.org/2023/does-cali…

NEW REPORT: Ten years since CA adopted LCFF, @publicadvocates @ACLU_SoCal finds that despite some progress made, serious problems persist. Among them, 85% of school districts received feedback that LCAP engagement is inaccessible. bit.ly/3mYPPQE

The time for outdated zero tolerance policies in schools is over. Stop criminalizing our youth and give educators discretion! Pass #SB1273! @JonesSawyerAD59 @AsmMiaBonta @AsmBillQuirk @SantiagoAD53 @AsmPatODonnell @AsmKevinMcCarty @QuirkSilva65th @ACLU_CalAction @ACLU_SoCal
