Take action to support AB 938 – Increase funding for TK-12 salaries by 50% over 7 years

Dear John,

As the new school year gets underway, once again school districts from throughout the state are facing severe staffing shortages, and we must do our part to urge our elected leaders in Sacramento to take action.

CFT-sponsored AB 938 would increase funding for our TK-12 schools over 7 years with the intention of providing salary increases for all TK-12 school workers by 50%.

Sign the petition: Urge CA lawmakers to support AB 938

A survey last spring by CFT found that 56% of teachers 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 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
