What did George Washington Carver, Louisa May Alcott, Dwight David Eisenhower and Dolores Huerta have in common? They each spent part of their career transforming lives — through teaching.
In the past three years, California has cut $18 billion in state funding for education. Next year’s state budget contains an additional $12 billion in cuts; education funding is still uncertain. Locally, we have the opportunity to pass Measure A, allowing two years of emergency funding for the Davis school district.
This funding will help retain 60 teachers who received pink slips. Help them transform lives — join me in voting yes on Measure A.
