SACRAMENTO - State Senator Joe Simitian (D-Palo Alto) announced that he will hold an “Education Update” meeting on Saturday, January 24 in Palo Alto for school board members, superintendents, teachers, parents, and other education advocates.
Simitian timed this meeting with the release of the Governor’s budget proposal. Simitian said, “I’m particularly anxious to hear from folks given these challenging budget 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.”
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.
