The concern is that the proposal would set a worrisome precedent, which if adopted could be used by future governors and Legislatures to avoid complying with the Prop 98 funding guarantee.

Californians Together is in Sacramento today to discuss lessons learned, key findings, and recommendations from our latest reports. We are excited to welcome dedicated advocates and decision makers for a meaningful discussion on the #EnglishLearner Roadmap policy.
The EL Roadmap marks a major shift in thinking on #EnglishLearner policy. Three years of implementation efforts highlight the need to build a shared understanding of what it takes to meaningfully serve #ELs. More lessons learned from #ELRISE: caltog.co/401H8Es

PACE's @julieamarsh: “In CA, we’ve made a big investment in the LCFF, gave a lot of control over how funds are spent to local school boards, so there’s a real deep value of local control. For me, it’s almost a philosophical question—at what point is there too much local control?”

Does emerging tech like AI have potential for supporting students? Maybe. But, too often, it replicates existing biases against marginalized students. #EnglishLearners deserve better than egregious plagiarism accusations. h/t @BusinessInsider caltog.co/3JXzhAT
