Increase funding for public education

Despite being the 5th largest economy in the world, California's public education system is struggling. California ranks among the bottom ten states in the U.S. in annual per-pupil spending. When the state fails to invest in public schools, students and staff suffer.

We are the East Bay Coalition for Public Education, a unified group made up of teachers and classified unions, educational leaders, superintendents, school board members, students and parents representing the educational communities of Alameda County.

We call upon the California State Legislature and the Governor of California…  Read more to fund California public schools at the national average or higher by the year 2020, and at a level that is equal to or above the average of the top 10 states nationally by 2025, and to maintain, at a minimum, this level of funding until otherwise decreed.
