That starts with tangible steps like expanding dual enrollment, increasing mental health resources, implementing universal pre-K, reducing class sizes, restoring arts and electives, and reforming standardized testing. There is so much more we can do for our students and teachers.

California’s schools sit at the intersection of safety, civil rights, and opportunity. My north star is that every student should feel safe, seen, and supported, and graduate with real choices for college, career, or both.

I’ve been teaching for 30 years, and as someone teaching future teachers and overseeing nine colleges serving 200,000 students each year, I’m seeing that the problems they face today are the same ones I faced in the classroom.

Our democracy depends on Californians showing up today to vote yes on Prop 50, especially for our children and our schools!

As the only Democratic K-12 teacher running for California State Superintendent of Public Instruction, I believe our students know better than anyone what’s working and what’s not. We need to start building California’s public schools with our students, not just for them.

As the only Democratic teacher in this race, and if elected, the first Black woman to be State Superintendent, I’m honored to have his endorsement in this fight for California’s students and teachers.

Imposter syndrome is real, but you never know what you can do until you do it. That was true during my time on the statewide bargaining team and my 6 years on the statewide representation team.

Time really does fly when you’re having fun. Thank you, @cfaunited.bsky.social!

I support the law and will ensure its implementation stays teacher-led and classroom-informed. As State Superintendent, I’ll make sure professional development is paid and shaped by educators, not one-size-fits-all mandates.

I opposed AB 715 because it weaponizes vague definitions to chill speech and censor Ethnic Studies. We can fight antisemitism and protect academic freedom at the same time. As the only classroom teacher in this race, I’ll always stand for truth, inclusion, and free inquiry in our schools.

Hi, I was the first and only candidate to stand with fellow teachers in opposing AB 715, going all the way back to when it was AB 1468. The State Superintendent would be responsible for enforcing the bill now that it’s been signed by the Governor, which makes this race especially important.

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

I’m grateful to have his support as we work to make California’s schools stronger and led by those closest to our communities.
