Start the Day for Students
An Urgent Statewide Day of Action for Students and California’s Future
- In the last two years, $17 billion was cut from schools and colleges.
- Entire art, music and PE programs were eliminated.
- More than 16,000 educators were laid off.
- And large California corporations enjoyed tax breaks.
This year, in the wake of all these cuts, our students and schools are being threatened again. We can’t let that happen.
We need your help in this urgent effort to speak out about the painful effects
cuts are having on our students, schools and communities. On March 4, 2010,
“Start the Day for Students” and be a part of the campaign to fight for the resources
our students deserve. We must reform the state’s tax structure and repeal the tax
breaks handed out to large corporations. It’s time everyone paid their fair share.
We all know that education is essential to building a better California. Working
together, we can make sure our students get the resources they need to succeed.
Join this urgent action for our students and our future. Start today by making plans for March 4.

Trust = JOBS!!!!!!!!!!! Let's Work TOGETHER!!!!
I feel it is imperative that CTA begin working in tandem with school district administrators to alleviate layoffs and further diminish the quality of education CA provides our children.
Administrators are asking for Full Flexibility of Categorical Funds.
We are being told that CTA is thwarting this effort.
If the money was available… Continue

I am, sadly, discovering that as a Union member and a counselor, that often my two roles do not coincide when in comes to equity of services. This appears to be unintentional and an oversight. It is…
