Governor’s May Revise, Current Legislation and Advocacy: What You Need to Know
Saturday, May 20, 2023
8:30am-11:30am Via Zoom
This workshop will review California’s Governor’s revisions to State Budget for the next fiscal year. This is important information for understanding how funding for early childhood programs, parents and teachers may be affected (positively or negatively) by the budget.
We will also review current legislation (state and federal) that is important for the ECE workforce, families and children. There will be a focus on Senator Leyva’s SB976, which promotes a mixed delivery system for families to choose the type of program—public elementary or community-based providers for providing a transitional kindergarten experience for their children.
A critical component of learning about the Governor’s May Revise and current legislation is your role in advocacy. This section offers a simple overview of advocacy and ways you can be involved in policy decisions that affect you, your work, families and children in California. Advocacy can seem intimidating and time-consuming—this event will share how you can make an impact with any amount of time investment.

Cost: CAAEYC member registration is $20 and nonmember registration is $35.
