This week, Gov. Gavin Newsom presented the first pass on the 2024-25 state budget.
It includes his ideas for addressing an $11 billion drop in funding for TK-12 and community colleges and a larger projected general fund deficit affecting child care and higher education.
We asked a cross-section of education leaders and advocates for their initial impressions of the governor’s proposals.
Their contributions reflect diverse perspectives on education, from preschool through CSU and UC.
