    We can’t believe the year has come to an end! It’s been a journey for all of us and we feel so honored to have played some small part in the lives of these incredibly resilient and hard-working students. When we re-open in the fall, we look forward to connecting with new students and reconnecting with returning students. After three years, Casey Sasner will say goodbye (with tears and gratitude) as she moves on to an internship at a clinic in San Francisco providing free therapy to folks who need it as part of her journey toward becoming a LMFT. We’ll welcome a new and incredible Intake Specialist who we know students will love. Allen will continue on as the full-time Wellness Coordinator. We will be joined by an amazing new counseling intern team. We wish you peace, joy, and wellness this summer. Please see our Guide to Summer Resources here. (CS 5/20 @2:20)

  • Legislative News

    May 21, 2021

    The May revisions to Governor Newsom’s proposed state budget were released last week. Much larger than expected tax revenues from 2020 mean that the news is good for education. A rarely-used anti-spending law will give districts additional one-time funds, as well as provide tax rebates to many Californians.  

    Highlights of the proposed budget include universal transitional kindergarten, the elimination of deferrals (money owed to school districts by the state), and funding for low-income districts to provide extended learning opportunities such as summer and after-school programs. Also in the budget is $7 billion from the American Rescue Act for broadband expansion, which education advocates say is critical to closing the digital divide for less affluent communities, particularly in remote areas.
