<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">On Wednesday, <b>
May 22nd there will be a Statewide Day of Action in Sacramento to fight for more funding for public education in our state</b>. Thousands of teachers, classified staff, parents, families and community members will converge on Sacramento to call upon our legislators
to take action to change California’s shameful place as 46th in the nation in per pupil funding. As the state with the highest level of wealth in our country, and one that is the 5th largest economy in the world, California must do better, and citizens must
push our legislature to address this crisis.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">In Berkeley, we are at risk of losing dozens of excellent teachers and staff if we cannot provide a meaningful increase in compensation, and we need to provide more classroom supports for our
Full Inclusion model. State action to provide more base funding to districts is key to this challenge, and a great reason for all of us to head to Sacramento on May 22nd. In addition, multiple studies have shown that districts need more funding in order to
expedite progress on closing equity gaps.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">This day of action is being organized by the California Federation of Teachers (CFT), the California Teachers Association (CTA) and a grassroots group called California Educators Rising. This
is historic collaboration among these groups, and something we should all support in the interests of our children and students.
<b>By attending we show that parents, teachers, classified staff and citizens demand that California create a plan to return to being one of the best public education systems in our country.</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#26282A">We encourage you to bring your children with you on May 22nd and to make this a family affair. Students are the most impacted by the inadequate funding
of schools in California.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#26282A">BFT does not believe that any schools will be closed on May 22nd. At all sites staff are collaborating to make a plan for 5/22. BUSD is allowing teachers
to use Personal Leave to go to Sacramento on 5/22, so principals are able to know in advance who will be absent, and plan for the day.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
