Educate Me! House Meetings, Town Halls, Office Meet-Ups and more
Did you attend the Educate Me! Town Hall in San Carlos? Were you looking for the Educate Our State FAQ page or Platform or a copy of Educational Pursuit re-watch Seth Rosenblatt's presentation? Or perhaps you want to learn more including visit some of our recommended resources, then check out our Background Document.
People everywhere have questions about California Public Education. How bad is it? Is this a Prop 13 thing? Seriously, do they spend more per student in Arkansas then California? OMG what can we do? We need to tell everyone about this...now...where do we start?
Ahhh...welcome to our world. First, take a deep breath. Next consider helping host an Educate Me! event. Educate Me! events give us a chance to meet parents and community members and share our learning, listen to your stories and talk about the future and what we can do. |  Team Leaders Crystal Brown, Linda Shaffer and Catherine Goddard talking with parents and community members at a Mill Valley, CA, Educate Me! house meeting. |
