California County Superintendents President Gayle Garbolino-Mojica Statement on the Governor’s 2024-2025 State Budget Proposal

A collective sigh of relief today, as Governor Newsom released his 2024-2025 budget proposal. Despite expected budget challenges, crucial education initiatives remain safeguarded. The Governor underscored his ongoing commitment to maintaining predictable support for students, communities and schools by protecting prior investments to advocate for all children to have access to a high-quality education through the state’s new suite of whole child programs.

We look forward to continued conversations with the Administration and Legislature as we all work towards a budget that supports the education and wellbeing of all of our students.
