There is an important statewide conversation happening about how California funds its public schools. The California Teachers Association has been advancing a coordinated campaign known as “We Can’t Wait,” which aims to build political momentum for a potential statewide revenue measure related to school funding. Many of the financial pressures our district faces are shared across the state, and the policy debate about school funding is real and important.

 

However, our obligation is to make decisions based on Twin Rivers’ specific financial situation and our students’ needs. While that statewide debate continues, the impacts of these negotiations are felt locally—by students, teachers, and families.
