I had the pleasure of calling April Raguindin with the surprise news that she is one of California’s Teachers of the Year for 2026.

April is a first-grade teacher at Dr. Douglas K. Fletcher Elementary School in Kern County’s Bakersfield City School District. ...

I want to remind the Trump Administration: ICE has no place in our schools.

I sponsored AB 49 to keep immigration enforcement away from our school campuses. Our students and their records are off limits without a judicial order.

I’m proud to have co-sponsored legislation that led the implementation of California’s Universal Meals Program, offering two free meals per day to all students. We’re providing more meals to students than ever, and more of those meals include organic, locally-sourced ingredients.

I kicked off a reconvening this week of the Superintendent's Cohort to Move the Needle on Test Scores, a group of over 200 California school districts who are working together to create 5% growth statewide in both student literacy and math. So proud of our educators and their dedication!

Diversity is our strength — and together, we’re building a more equitable and prosperous future for all. Latino Heritage Month is a time to celebrate our heritage and those who paved the way, like worker's rights champion Dolores Huerta.

No one should be afraid to go to school.

Nothing should get in the way of our students having a quality education.

Welcome back to school! I’ve visited many schools across California as we kick off the new school year. I have seen smiling faces of students and parents as they step into new classrooms ...
