Sacramento, CA ―Teach Plus California today issued the following statement on Governor Newsom’s May Revision of the 2021-22 California State Budget.
“Teach Plus and Teach Plus teacher leaders are thrilled to see Governor Newsom investing more in our students and schools than ever before in the May revision of his 2021-22 state budget. Teach Plus believes that these aggressive investments in educational equity have the potential to be truly transformational. We continue to support the Governor’s focus on prioritizing our students’ social and emotional well-being and investing in building a diverse, well-supported teaching force.
“As the Legislature debates the Governor’s revised budget proposal, we call on it to realize our collective vision for equity and to provide clear oversight of how schools and districts are supporting our most vulnerable students. We support the Governor’s focus on investing in the teacher pipeline as a way to achieve equitable education for all students and we hope that the state listens to teachers as it shapes that investment. We look forward to continuing to work with the Governor, Legislature, and partners to make this vision a reality,” said Sarah Lillis, Teach Plus California Executive Director.”
