Bill Reinforcing Vocational Tracking to be Heard in Committee SB 672 (Torlakson) will be heard in the Assembly Education Committee on Wednesday, June 18. The bill creates a new education mandate in which schools and school districts that wish to access desperately needed funds will be forced to require their students to take two vocational education classes in order to graduate from high school. The bill gives cover to schools that do not adequately prepare students of color for life after high school and diverts sorely needed resources away from more urgent reforms like class size reduction, hiring more school counselors, and comprehensive professional development for teachers.

Please contact the Chair of the Assembly Education Committee, Assemblyman Gene Mullin today, and let him know your opposition to the bill. His contact information is as follows: Assembly Member Gene Mullin (916) 319 2019 Phone (916) 319 - 2119 Fax
