Sage Canyon PTA -- NPTA Alert

Based on the authority contained in our statewide resolutions and position statements, the California State PTA, representing nearly 1 million volunteer members, has taken positions on five of the six measures that will appear on the May 19 statewide ballot.

Each of these measures is intended to implement components of the state budget agreement adopted by the Legislature and signed by the Governor in late February.

While we do not feel these measures adequately address the need for long-term budget reform in California, we recognize that most of the measures represent important and necessary steps to prevent deeper cuts to education and children's programs during the state's current economic crisis.

The California State PTA's positions are as follows:

PROPOSITION 1A - SUPPORT

Restores education funding, temporarily increases state revenues, and establishes a "rainy day" stabilization fund. Learn more

PROPOSITION 1B - SUPPORT

Education funding repayment plan. Learn more

PROPOSITION 1C - SUPPORT

Modernization of the Lottery. Learn more

PROPOSITION 1D - OPPOSE

First 5/Children's Services Funding. Learn more

PROPOSITION 1E - SUPPORT

PROPOSITION 1F - NO POSITION
