Dear John,

Staffing shortages in our public schools have reached a moment of crisis and we need our elected leaders in Sacramento to take action.

Sign the petition: Urge CA lawmakers to support AB 938

CFT-sponsored AB 938 would increase funding for K-12 salaries by 50% over 7 years – giving our schools the chance to attract and retain the high quality staff that our students need to be successful.

A recent survey by CFT found that 56% of certificated and classified employees in TK-12 schools say they think about quitting their job and leaving education. And large majorities of students who reject teaching as a career say low pay is the number one reason they are looking elsewhere.

It’s time for California lawmakers to take the bold action our schools and our students deserve. It’s time to pay educators and classified professionals a wage that enables them to have a long and successful career dedicated to their students.

Please sign the petition today.

In Unity,

Jeff Freitas
CFT President
