Thank you for your ongoing support of my work as our State's Superintendent of Public Education. We have transformed school improvement; added over $7.2 billion in annual support to our schools; helped build one of the most qualified teacher workforces in the nation and substantially improved educator salaries; brought back civics as a graduation requirement; expanded career and technical education, and we have made incredible investments in student mental health, school meals, and safety.
As we continue to recover from the global COVID-19 pandemic with enrollment gains, rising assessment scores, and near record-high graduation rates, we are faced with a national political movement led by a reckless President and federal administration that seeks to attack our public schools, the hard work of our educators, and the rights of our students.
Despite these attacks, we’ve focused on our students, and they remain the central focus of our work. With your support, I get to keep fighting for high quality PUBLIC education!
Thank you for giving me a chance to carry out this amazing and challenging work in service to our students, families, educators, and communities. Our recovery is strong, but the attacks from the Trump administration and far-right extremists are a serious threat to our children and our schools.
