BREAKING: We filed a lawsuit to reclaim billions lost in Prop. 98 funding.

Nearly 40 years ago, California voters passed Prop. 98 to establish a minimum public school funding guarantee in our state constitution. Governor Newsom and the legislature violated this guarantee when they chose to withhold nearly $6 billion dollars from our students and schools in the 2024-25 and 2025-26 fiscal years.

We are fighting back and demanding that the funds be returned to our schools.

WETA is proud to support Norma Rodarte for WCSD School Board, Trustee Area 3!

Electing school board members who listen to educators and staff, understand our schools, and put students first matters. We believe Norma will be that voice on our School Board, and now we need to help get her elected!

🗳️ Want to help? We’re helping organize small groups to place door hangers on Saturday mornings and after school, based on when volunteers are available. WETA members, CSEA members, friends, family, and other supporters are all welcome! Sign up on your own and we’ll connect you with a group, or grab a few people and sign up together.

Even an hour or two can make a real difference in this election!
