A shortage of teachers for computer science classes puts California near the bottom of a national instruction ranking https://t.co/CjP96oUeHk

[Robyn Hines @RobynHines]

California had 76K open computing positions in 2022, but many California schools and universities do not offer computer science courses. To bridge this gap, we must pass A.B. 1054 and A.B. 1251 to better equip students for the workforce of the future. https://t.co/GtcdXqHqPd

Thanks for your leadership and commitment to this important issue!

[Marc Berman @AsmMarcBerman]

Thank you to the fantastic @csforca coalition for organizing a briefing today on my bill #AB1054 and the importance of offering computer science classes to all high school students. Together we can make progress on closing the computer science access and equity divide!

[Robyn Hines @RobynHines]

Thank you for your leadership on this important issue.

[Marc Berman @AsmMarcBerman]

California has fallen behind 27 other states when it comes to prioritizing access to computer science education, exacerbating educational inequities and the diversity gaps in tech. Today I introduced #AB1054 to ensure every high school student has access to computer science 🧵

Thank you CalFire!

[Sam Stanton @StantonSam]

Camp Sacramento was saved Sunday night by calfire crews who fought through the night even as the flames came right up to the edge of cabins. Not a single structure burned.

[Robyn Hines @RobynHines]

Thanks to historic commitments from leaders like @GavinNewsom, #California is at the forefront of computer science education. Microsoft is proud to work with organizations like @codeorg that are dedicated to expanding access to #CSeducation for students everywhere.

[CodeAI @codeorg]

As COVID-19 widened the digital divide, teaching CS became more important than ever. 21 states passed policies and provided more than $68M in funding to help schools teach CS this year. Thank you to all our partners for driving this change! ❤️️💻 https://t.co/CmCbwookfi
