🔥 EDUCATOR OPINION: “Many of the people and services students rely on every day are not traditionally counted as instructional spending. School counselors, psychologists, nurses, social works, speech therapists, and occupational therapists fall outside the instructional category."

🚨DON’T BE FOOLED BY PROP 320: It claims to mandate 60% classroom spending, but the fine print tells a very different story. Prop 320 adds no new funding to our public schools. Instead, it threatens teacher pay cuts, fails to define critical terms, & forces districts to slash student support staff.
