Governor Brown, Add SB69′s Revisions To Your Local Control Funding Formula

We have a historic opportunity: for the second time this school year, public education supporters in California can boost funding back to pre-Great Recession 2007-2008 levels and begin to get us out of the basement among all fifty states when it comes to state per pupil funding.  We need to let Governor Brown know he must flex and alter his version of Local Control Funding Formula to reflect SB69′s improvements.
And we need to do this today — before we head off for vacation, or summer camp, or summer school.
Already on top of this?
Sign our petition asking Governor Brown to add SB69′s improvements to his Local Control Funding Formula. Act now, while it looks like he might relent.
