Why This Matters
California’s state-level education system has operated under split leadership and unclear lines of authority for over a century, making it harder for the state to respond effectively to student needs. In his 2026-27 budget proposal, Governor Newsom put forward a fix: appointing an Education Commissioner to manage the California Department of Education day-to-day, while refocusing the Superintendent of Public Instruction as a statewide champion for public education working to achieve greater alignment of state education policies from early childhood through college. The reform would bring California into line with how 20 other states already govern their public education systems and clarify accountability for results.
What Movement Members Accomplished
More than 950 organizations across California joined forces through The Children’s Movement of California – which is coordinated by Children Now – to call for state-level education governance reform. By signing on to the broad statement of support below, Movement members spanning 48 of the state’s 58 counties — from major statewide associations to community organizations directly serving kids and families — helped demonstrate cross-sector backing for change and sent a clear message to state policymakers: kids should be a higher priority in state decision-making, starting with this long-overdue reform.
Statement of Support
We Support Education Governance Reform
For over a century, the state-level institutions overseeing California’s public education system have been fraught with split leadership and unclear roles, making it difficult to respond effectively to student needs. The California Department of Education must be aligned under a more logical leadership structure to provide clearer guidance for schools and hold state leaders accountable for delivering results. By making this long overdue change this year, we can do right by kids and bring California in line with other states.

WHERE THINGS STAND: This campaign has demonstrated strong support statewide for enacting education governance reform this year. The statement with 950+ signatories was delivered to policymakers on May 20, and momentum is building. The reform proposal is currently advancing through the state budget process. The Governor and Legislature have until June 30 to approve the state budget.
HOW TO STAY INVOLVED: While this campaign has concluded, The Children’s Movement continues to mobilize around policies that prioritize California’s kids. If you’d like to stay engaged and receive alerts about future Pro-Kid campaigns, sign-up here:
