CSBA Issues Statement on Governor's Inaugural Address
SACRAMENTO, Calif., (January 5, 2015) – The California School Boards Association (CSBA) released this statement by CSBA CEO & Executive Director Vernon M. Billy:
“CSBA congratulates Governor Brown on his historic fourth term. Once again, the Governor demonstrated his command and experience over a broad range of pressing issues, while sharing his appreciation of history to weave a powerful mosaic of California’s future. Today’s speech highlights why California voters re-elected him.
CSBA remains committed to working closely with the Governor and state leaders to ensure the successful implementation of the Local Control Funding Formula, advocating for funding adequacy for K-12 education, and eliminating laws that are the result of ‘micromanagement from afar,’ which hinders the ability of locally elected school leaders to oversee our public schools.”
