Power to maintain educational excellence belongs to voters - Pasadena Star-News


Power to maintain educational excellence belongs to voters - Pasadena Star-News:

"For decades, California has been on the cutting edge of America's social and economic evolution. We are the state that has launched new technologies, a green business climate, personal fitness and entertainment. Californians led the nation in breaking down outdated social mores and advancing equity and social responsibility.

This success story is rooted in education. We built the world's premier multi-tiered public education system, designed to create affordable opportunities for everyone to advance themselves and their families.

The system works when it is a universal priority. An educated workforce gives back by creating jobs that support public funding. But we are now facing a cataclysmic change in priorities, putting California's future at risk."
