SACRAMENTO - State Senator Joe Simitian (D-Palo Alto) announced today that he will hold an “Education Update” meeting on Saturday, June 13 in Palo Alto for school board members, superintendents, teachers, parents, and other education advocates.
Simitian timed this meeting to coincide with the release of the Governor’s May revision budget proposal. Simitian said, “I’m particularly anxious to hear from folks given these challenging times.”
Simitian added, “these ‘Education Updates’ give me an opportunity to know what local education leaders and advocates are thinking, and what matters most to them. Knowing that helps me better serve our local schools and kids. Given the current budget situation, it’s more important than ever for elected officials to listen to the folks they represent.”
As a member of the Senate Education Committee, Simitian will provide an in-depth update on K-12 education funding and legislation pending in Sacramento. He will then open the floor to questions, concerns, and comments.
