California Budget Protects Some Equity Investments, Yet Falls Short of What Students of Color Deserve
Jun. 25, 2024EdTrust-West Statement on a Housing Initiative for California Educators
Aug. 30, 2024
EdTrust-West is pleased to see the Governor’s Council for Career Education and our partners at WestEd do an impressive job of soliciting public input into the development of a Master Plan for Career Education. Their work so far reflects many of EdTrust-West’s recommendations. In the final version of the Master Plan, we would like to see the inclusion of more detail on our principal recommendations, including providing adequate financial aid to cover the full cost of attendance, using the Cradle-to-Career Data System’s tools to help students chart a path to college and career, building pathways into teaching for students of color, and requiring all high schools to offer dual enrollment.
For more details on EdTrust-West’s recommendations regarding the Master Plan for Career Education, please read our full letter at https://edtrustwest.info/CareerEdRecs.
