Children Now President Ted Lempert’s Statement on California’s Approval of Education Governance Reform
OAKLAND, CA — “The approval of education governance reform, over a century in the making, is a monumental victory for California’s students that finally establishes a sensible system to best support them. More than 950 diverse organizations across the state called for this reform through The Children’s Movement of California, and we commend Governor Newsom for his leadership in making this much needed change a reality. We look forward to working to ensure effective implementation of this governance change, and using it as a building block to make numerous other improvements that will put California students in the best position to thrive.”
