Is it the beginning of the end of the two-thirds majority requirement to pass school parcel taxes? SF Appellate court upholds simple majority for citizen-initiated measures. @CSBA_Now @CASBO

Late payments to districts with obligations to staff etc that are not flexible mean the poorest districts with little to no reserves pay the highest price. And that cost of borrowing is never repaid. So tragic @GavinNewsom @JenSiebelNewsom Parents had hoped for more from you.

[Educate Our State @EducateOurState]

Please, @GavinNewsom don’t defer our starving schools. Kids can not afford deferrals. @JenSiebelNewsom with parents at the head of our state we are hoping our children’s education stops coming in last.

[Educate Our State @EducateOurState]

Thank you @GavinNewsom for committing to funding to rectify the learning loss for our most disadvantaged students. (1) Some easy fixes — returning ERAF to our public schools serving our poorest students, putting COLA in as we do for childcare.

[Educate Our State @EducateOurState]

Please @PhilTing @AsmRepublicans @AssemblyDems do not defer school funds — our schoolchildren always pay the price! Schools do have the money to be the lender for the state! Defer something else. #StopHurtingSchools

Sadly, @KQEDForum the organizations at greatest risk of bankruptcy are our schools. Due to gov’t shenanigans, most schools receive very little of their local property taxes, which makes their revenue stream the very unstable general fund. https://t.co/HjmGiwDQKS

Gratitude and kudos to @GavinNewsom for directly investing a total of $6.8B in the housing space — and resisting renewed city and county attempts to force K-12 schoolchildren to fund redevelopment. RT #CABudget #EducateOurState #Transparency #NoOnSB795

Stop by and see us at @CSBA_Now this week and say hello to our chair and former State Sup @DelaineEastin (end of Row 400 🙂)

[Educate Our State @EducateOurState]

Thank you Chair @DelaineEastin and Research Dir Jennifer Bestor for going up to Sacramento to advocate for the education of the children of California. Work to do.

[Educate Our State @EducateOurState]

Thank you to our Research Director for speaking out against Sb-5 "Housing and infrastructure are high-profile goals – swiping school property tax to fund them is cruel...High-profile issues belong at the ballot box.'

@les @CaCities Also did not mean we would not welcome a public forum —we would, thank you. Here is more info: https://t.co/EDJjRY9IlF also do you have a copy of the letter? Thanks! 🙂

[Educate Our State @EducateOurState]

SB5 wants to fund housing with property taxes allocated to school districts — but only the poorest districts. The source for housing funds in any bill should not be those stable, reliable funds — property taxes that taxpayers believe are going to their local schools.

[Educate Our State @EducateOurState]

@CaCities @LuisCityCouncil You are right, it doesn’t require the state budget, you ask the poorest schools to pay for it. Please go to the voters like schools have to, or go to the general fund. Our poorest schools have so little property tax left they cannot afford to give it away. https://t.co/EDJjRXS7u7

[Educate Our State @EducateOurState]

@LuisCityCouncil It would’ve been an absolute disaster for our poorest public schools. Affordable housing is a well recognized issue that does not require under the table funding. And we promise you, local property taxes are very different from the general fund. https://t.co/zOCcuRFyzj
