Schools on Point Television Show

As Chair of the Assembly Education Committee, I was recently interviewed by representatives of the Los Angeles County Office of Education for their Schools on Point program, a 30-minute public affairs television show devoted to discussion about major legislative issues impacting California students and public schools.

We discussed my AB 247, a school facilities bond that would provide $14 billion in state matching funds for new school construction and infrastructure projects for both K-12 and community college districts.

We talked about my AB 938, which would raise school staff and teachers' salaries to close the wage gap between school site staff and similarly educated college graduates in other fields.

We also focused on the importance of Career Technical Education, and how my AB 377 would increase funding for the Career Technical Education Incentive Grant (CTEIG) Program and consolidate the existing K-12 Strong Workforce Program (SWP).

Many thanks to Moderator Liz Graswich, Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE)'s Executive Director of Communications, and the Host, Dr. Debra Duardo, Superintendent of Schools.
