Save the date for Advocacy Day! This annual event is taking place online this year, so it’s easy to attend. (It’s also free.)
Advocacy Day for Education 2021: Moving Forward with Resiliency
The first Advocacy Day took place in 1980, prompted by the passage of Proposition 13 and its anticipated negative impact on education. Today, Advocacy Day serves as a vehicle to both influence our legislators and inform our volunteers and community members. Four decades of advocacy have focused on issues of finance, education reform, class size, standardized testing, special needs and children’s health issues. This year is different.Undeniably, the pandemic has greatly impacted the schools and the health of our families and communities. For exactly one year we have faced uncertainty on a daily basis and the challenge of not knowing what the future holds for our students and schools. This year Advocacy Day will focus on “Moving Forward with Resiliency.” We will have the opportunity to hear from and ask questions of our school superintendents and state legislators. A panel of highly respected frontline medical and mental health experts will share the most current information and recommendations. The equity issues at play will be addressed by both educators and corporate professionals.
Together we will advocate directly to our legislators for the education of all our children.
Save the Date for one or all of our three sessions:
- Session One: Thursday, April 29 9:00-11:30am
- Session Two: Thursday, April 29 6:00-8:00pm
- Session Three: Friday, April 30 9:00-11:00am

- Without Covid testing, your student can return to school after 10 days AND after the symptoms have been resolved for at least 24 hours (without fever-reducing medication).
- With a NEGATIVE Covid test result, your student can return to school after the symptoms have been resolved for at least 24 hours (without fever-reducing medication). See page 1
