Take Action to Protect School Funding
California schools are facing significant funding shortfalls, and the State PTA warns that funds approved for students may be unlawfully withheld– impacting classrooms and resources.
The California State PTA is calling on families to speak up. Learn more and take a moment to sign and add your voice. It only takes a minute, and it helps ensure our schools receive the funding they are owed.
