The California Supreme Court has denied hearing the appeals in the Davis v. Fresno USD case. Additionally, the Court denied the petitions to depublish the case. As it currently stands, the decision can be cited as precedent. The next step is for the issues to be tried in Superior Court. It will probably be 12-18 months before that happens.

Californians for Quality Schools (CQS) Update
With the help of our members and supporters, C.A.S.H. believes we will meet 100% or
greater of our State School Bond initiative signature gathering threshold and will be
qualified by the end of September 2015. Upon qualification, we will begin a campaign for
which we will need to raise $1.5 to $2.5 million. The total campaign cost is expected to be
approximately $10 million, so we will be expanding outreach to other education
organizations and to local school districts and county offices of education for grassroots
efforts.
