1021 School Members at the State Capitol

1021 School Members Demand Education Protection

Facing layoffs in K-12 and community colleges, SEIU Local 1021 school members met lawmakers at the State Capitol to fight for education.

“Our programs help parents pursue their education and professional goals,” said Adam Friedlander, Instructional Assistant for the Oakland Unified School District.

Governor Jerry Brown has proposed cuts to early childhood education and preschool programs as a method to close the state’s budget deficit. He’s also proposed a weighted pupil formula, which would harm school districts and the students they serve. Brown could propose additional cuts when he releases his May budget revise on May 14.
