Over the break one of our teachers at CCMS became very ill. A go fund me page has been set up to help the family with medical costs. Thank you.

#HR82 is a critical piece of legislation that would repeal the WEP/GPO penalties that substantially reduce or eliminate the EARNED Social Security benefits of thousands of CFT members and retirees. 2/3

Words cannot express how grateful I am for everyone who showed up today in support of #AB1955 in Senate Education Committee. Emotions were high, but I know we all want the best for our children. The SAFETY Act ensures that students and teachers can focus on a safe and supportive learning environment, while leaving conversations about gender and sexuality at home where they belong. As a parent myself, I encourage all parents to talk and listen to their children, and love them unconditionally for who they are. The SAFETY Act now heads to Senate Appropriations.
