Final push to support the ASES Increase
We need your support before June 1st!

Post

Recently, the Assembly Budget Subcommittee proposed additional funding for ASES this year to bring the daily rate from $8.19 to an average of $9.25 per student, but we are not done yet! The next step is for the Budget Conference Committee, a small group of legislators from the California Assembly and Senate will consider whether to adopt the Assembly’s funding proposal of $76.3 million and include it in the budget sent to the Governor. We only have a few days to make a difference. 

Here are some ways you can take action to support the ASES Increase!
