Dear Cambrian Families and Community:
As California’s local funding formula for school districts continues to negatively impact school districts such as ours, many of you have contacted me asking how you can help advocate for Cambrian School District.
I want to take this moment to thank you for your kind offer to support our District, and your willingness to lend your voice to our cause of seeking full and fair funding from Sacramento. To assist us in our efforts, please click here to view and sign a form letter that you can send directly to Governor Gavin Newsom asking him to increase the support for California public schools. California has the 5th largest economy in the world and the largest gross domestic product of any state, yet ranks near the bottom in nearly every measure of school funding or school staffing.
We are not alone in this challenge facing public education. Along with 500 other California public school districts, Cambrian School District’s Governing Board of Trustees passed a resolution supporting full and fair funding for our District and public education. The California School Boards Association is calling on our state Legislature to raise school funding to the national average by 2020 and to the average of the top 10 states by 2025. You can also show support by signing the California School Board Associations’ petition for full and fair funding to protect public education.
Please click this link to sign the CSBA petition supporting better funding for education.
In addition, I encourage you to attend the CSD Governing Board’s follow-up budget study session tomorrow evening--Tuesday, November 19th at 6:30 p.m., in the District Office’s Professional Development Center, 4115 Jacksol Drive. The Governing Board and District staff will continue to discuss the District’s finances and strategize how we will maintain our standards of excellence for our future. I hope you can attend and learn more about how we are managing the District’s finances and the types of decisions we are constantly making in order to ensure our classroom experience is always the best for all our students.
Thank you for your support.
