Thank you @AsmCarrillo for introducing #AB1725! We’re excited to work with you and other supporters in the #CALeg on behalf of the 400,000 students and working families throughout CA who depend on ASES programs. #SaveAfterSchool
Working families need afterschool programs to provide critical childcare during the hours after the bell rings. But insufficient funding is putting children across CA at risk of losing their programs & Gov. @GavinNewsom's #CAbudget doesn’t go far enough.
#CAbudget acknowledges the need to fund education programs outside of LCFF. But where is the promise to fund afterschool that @GavinNewsom campaigned on?
Gov @GavinNewsom wants Californias to be able to "provide the opportunity for their children to thrive from cradle to career."How can working families ensure their children thrive without quality afterschool programs? #CAbudget missed an opportunity to address this challenge.
