Take Action Today: Governor’s May Revise Budget
Sign On Letter Due Today by 1:00 PM
Budget decisions are moving quickly and that the Assembly and Senate Budget Subcommittees will be voting on education proposals on Tuesday, May 25.
The Governor’s budget proposal makes a historic commitment to grow afterschool and summer programs in the most under-resourced communities. However, action is needed to stabilize our existing expanded learning system with adequate daily rates, make sure we don’t leave out our middle and high school students, and ensure the engagement of community partners.
Add your organization to the sign-on letter (http://bit.ly/MayReviseSOL), by sending your information by 1:00 PM Monday 5/24.
