We will be going over the College for All Coalition’s Top 5 Bill priorities which include:

AB 1930	Ensures that CSU and UC engage stakeholders before implementing admissions requirements that could disparately impact students of color
AB 1835	Annually, requires LEAs to identify unspent Supplemental and Concentration funds (in LCFF) and keep those fund’s designation to be spent on low-income, foster, or EL students.
ACA 5	If passed, allows the repeal of Prop. 209 to go to the November ballot for CA voters.
SB 1130	Helps build out broadband connections to rural and low income communities using the CASF program (digital divide)
Prop 13	Closes commercial property tax loopholes and puts $12 billion dollars per year back into schools and communities

Whether it’s your first or fourth time joining us, we are so excited to have you! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
