Today I delivered $500,000 to Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District to fix their bathrooms at Palos Verdes and Palos Verdes Peninsula High Schools.

At the Palos Verdes Council of PTAs event Capitol Comes to the Hill, students at both high schools complained about bathroom stalls with no privacy, doors or locks as their top priority. I heard them loud and clear, and I was able to secure state funding to help fix this problem. Thank you students for speaking up and thank you PTA for your advocacy!

But I was sad to see the aging facilities at both schools over 50 years old. Palos Verdes needs to pass a school bond to upgrade our schools and invest in our communities.
