CA has the #1 economy in the nation. 5th largest in the world. Our investment in public schools needs to match that.

Too many of our schools have not been funded fairly since 2007. The base limit for funding has never been corrected and the playing field is unfair when one school is receiving substantially more than the neighboring school. California has never funded education as As other states have in spite of having such a thriving economy. This must change!

The demand to prepare our students for the digital world they are entering requires full and fair funding. The future of the state depends on this.

With 1/8 students in the US and such a large economy, California must be 1st in school funding. We owe it to our children and to our future.

Could you imagine what California could do if we were in the top 10 for education? Our country desperately needs a direction; let's educate tomorrow's leaders today!

Inadequate funding is the root of public education problems in CA. We have to address this issue.

California has the fifth largest economy in the world and the highest gross domestic product (GDP) of any state — we shouldn’t rank 41st in any area of significance, much less education. If we want all children to achieve at high levels, then we must create conditions that are conducive to success. That starts by giving our schools the resources needed to prepare all students for success in college, career and civic life. If we don’t reprioritize public schools, we put the vitality of our communities, the prosperity of our state and our children’s future at even greater risk.
