Town Hall: Learn More About Funding I’ve Secured in our State Budget

Dear Neighbors, 

I will be hosting my next virtual Town Hall on Thursday, August 18th at 6:00 pm with a focus on my 2022 District Budget Accomplishments.

Join me and representatives from the Santa Clara County Office of Education, the Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation Department, the Santa Clara County Office of Sustainability and the Silicon Valley Education Foundation for a discussion on local investments I’ve secured in our 2022-23 State Budget for Santa Clara County students and families. My approved district budget requests are the following:

  • $5,000,000 for Martial Cottle Park Improvements
  • $5,000,000 toward Integrated Data for Student Mental Health Support
  • $2,200,000 for the Eastside Education Initiative
  • $2,000,000 for the Santa Clara County Youth Climate Initiative

The local investments I’ve secured this year endeavor to educate and empower our next generation. Through an equity lens, this funding will provide students and families across our region equitable access to college and career readiness, project-based learning, environmental learning, opportunities to enjoy their local open spaces, as well as effective and integrated student mental health support systems, all with a goal of ensuring well-being and success in and outside of the classroom.
