Coast To Coast – Advocacy for Public Education from California to Washington DC.
During the last trip to Washington DC, representing the state as part of a delegation with CSBA, Isabel met and advocated for local schools and public education.
During the 2024 ACSA-CSBA Coast2Coast Federal Advocacy Trip to Washington, D.C. around 260 trustees and administrators traveled 2,800 miles to advocate in the halls of Congress on behalf of California students.
Trustees and superintendents, together with Isabel, met with Senators Laphonza Butler and Alex Padilla, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, Representatives Zoe Lofgren, Pete Aguilar, Ro Khanna, Anna Eshoo, and many more as they explained the needs and challenges schools face related to increasing special education funding; teacher recruitment, retention and retirement efforts; reauthorizing the Secure Rural Schools Act; maintaining and expanding broadband access; and protecting student data and establishing cybersecurity resources.
