.Senate President pro Tempore Emeritus Toni Atkins #SD39 It is critical to address long-standing opportunity gaps that perpetuate deep inequities in our K-12 system. We need a rate increase for ASES & 21CCLC & funds to serve older youth #CABudget #CaAfterschoolWorks #MayRevise

Research shows that high-quality #ExpandedLearning programs cost over $24 per student per day. CA needs at least $10.75 to deliver on Governor Gavin Newsom's #CAcomeback plan to hold up the #CaAfterschoolWorks system to support CA. #CALeg increase ASES & 21CCLC rate #CABudget Gavin Newsom

.Governor Gavin Newsom's #MayRevise does little to bring relief to #CaAfterschoolWorks professionals who have heroically answered the call to serve CA's youth; years of underfunding need to be systemically addressed to truly transform #education by increasing the rate to $10.75 #CAcomeback

The push for expanded learning in CA began because Middle & HS youth needed a safe & engaging place to go between the hrs of 3-6 PM. The Governor Gavin Newsom 's $5B investment in #afterschool & #summer programs does not include $ for older youth. Let's make this right Connie Leyva #SD20

Opportunities to prepare for higher education & engage in career exploration are essential to the vision of California for All Kids. #CALeg we must value #diversity, #access & #equity & include older youth in #ExpandedLearning opportunities. #CaAfterschoolWorks Governor Gavin Newsom

It's been a busy week with CA's budget with lots of exciting news and more action items for you! Check out our fireside chat with Michael Funk, @HeatherAshlyW, Angelina Hernandez and Cindy Martinez☮️ of Think Together, and Malia of Teaching Fellows! youtu.be/xXDMSNxbODo

Think Summer has officially kicked off! San Bernardino just started their summer programs, where students will get to have a whole lot of fun with their friends while also learning new things in preparation for the 2021-22 school year. #CaAfterschoolWorks

To fully realize the intent of Afterschool for All, we must revisit the 85/15 language to make this an effective investment for #CAcomeback. Statewide access will require rapid ramp-up/admin costs. Let's fix this to make it a sustainable vision. Michael Funk #CaAfterschoolWorks

Investing in #afterschool is essential, but it also needs to be sustainable. Governor Gavin Newsom, please adopt #CALeg's proposal to increase ASES and 21CCLC rates to $10.75 so #LAsBESTAfterschool & programs across CA can continue serving communities in need #CaAfterschoolWorks

#CALeg has heard the voices of #CaAfterschoolWorks allies & advocates because they believe in the power of #afterschool in #California. It's time for Governor Gavin Newsom to do the same by increasing the ASES & 21st Century rate to $10.75. That is how you transform #education. #CABudget

.Governor Gavin Newsom must act & make these opportunities 1️⃣Equitable: Include older youth, Essential staff deserve dignity & living wages 2️⃣Accessible: Statewide access requires statewide expansion revisit 85/15 3️⃣Sustainable: Increase the ASES/21st rate to $10.75 #CaAfterschoolWorks

Generational change is in the cards for millions of students in California. They all deserve Governor Gavin Newsom’s signature on #CALeg’s proposal to increase the #ExpandedLearning daily rate to $10.75 #CABudgef #CAcomeback #CaAfterschoolWorks Gavin Newsom
