AB 1531-WHAT TO SAY:

Senator Perata @
Sacramento Office (916) 445-6577
Oakland Office (510) 286-1333

Hello. My name is_______ and I am a (student/parent/teacher/etc.) and I live in (city). I am calling today to urge Senator Perata to keep AB 1531 moving through the legislature, and to urge other’s to vote in favor of it. AB 1531 will make sure that California accurately measures whether California schools are providing students with the skills they need for a successful future. We urge the Senator to help keep this bill moving through Appropriations and out of the Senate so that the legislature and the state can continue to look at how to ensure that all students receive a quality education and to accurately show what they have learned. We ask Senator Perata to use his leadership to keep the issue and AB1531 alive! Thank you.

Hello. My name is_______ and I am a (student/parent/teacher/etc.) and I live in (city). I am calling today to urge Speaker Nunez to keep SB 517 moving through the legislature, and to urge other’s to vote in favor of it. SB 517 will make sure that kids attending the poorest schools can graduate from High School with the skills they need for a successful future! We urge the Speaker to help keep this bill moving through Appropriations and out of the Assembly so that the legislature and the state can continue to address conditions at schools with the highest failure rates on the California High School Exit Exam. We ask Speaker Nunez to use his leadership to keep the issue and SB 517 alive! Thank you.
