Coming soon-sign up for updates! CA Kids Investment & Development Savings program (CalKIDS) will provide each child born in CA & eligible public school students in 1st-12th grade with a seed deposit. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F… CalKids.org @ScholarShare529 @TIAA #CalKIDS – at San Francisco, CA
Let’s flatten the curve!
Due to the rise in #COVID19 cases, CA is issuing a limited Stay at Home Order.
Non-essential work and gatherings must stop from 10pm-5am in counties in the purple tier.
This will take effect at 10pm on Saturday and remain for 1 month.
Together--we can flatten the curve again.

Happy to hear @EloyOakley announce CCC students will be allowed to retake any class attempted during #coronavirus and grades from the first attempt will not count toward GPA. @CalCommColleges also waiving the deadline for students to select a pass/no pass grading option.

BREAKING: We just released a report showing that millions of dollars in SoCal earmarked for high-need students were instead illegally spent on school police & other security measures. See if your school is on the list publicadvocates.org/righttor… #WeMakeLCFFWork #OurRightToResources

Sounds like we need a new GI bill, @paultough, to leverage the “radical potential of unlikely college students” (low income first gen students of color) into and through college, beyond the belief gap #2020PACE @publicadvocates
Any college that primarily emphasizes test scores in admissions erects barriers for students proven to succeed in college, namely GPA discrepant students, likely to be first gen low income women of color @paultough #2020PACE @publicadvocates

Did you know CA once had one of the highest levels of per-pupil funding? But as racial demographics changed so did the money. @Cal4Justice explains why #LCFF can reverse the harm that decades of underinvestment caused to students of color #WeMakeLCFFWork youtube.com/watch?v=2YnrCyfh…
Family involvement, work experience, inclusion and #CTE is critical for the postsecondary success of young people with disabilities. Include these priorities in your district’s LCAP, say Lauren Lindstrom @UCDEducation and Carolynne Beno @YoloCOE #WeMakeLCFFwork @publicadvocates

We knew it. Check out: “Two States. Eight Textbooks. Two American Stories.” Are your school’s texts inclusive to support the undoing of racism and tell all our stories? @nytimes @publicadvocates nytimes.com/interactive/2020…
Thanks to @CollegeOpp for honoring legislative equity champions in higher ed! @dannythirakul introducing @SenatorLeyva for her leadership with SB 291.
