Quarterly Message from the Chair

Posted on December 7, 2015 by CASH

December 4, 2015

It has been an exciting few months as Chair of the organization. All of the energy and excitement surrounding qualifying the State School Bond Initiative for the November 7, 2016, general election ballot, and now transitioning to campaigning, has reminded me that C.A.S.H. has the strength of our members to make the bond measure succeed.

Governor Signs Budget, Changes RRMA Contribution Requirements

Posted on June 25, 2015 by CASH

06/25/15

On Wednesday, June 24, 2015, the Governor signed the 2015-16 Budget Act and accompanying trailer bills to implement the budget with very little fanfare.  A negotiated deal between legislative leadership and the Governor was announced last Tuesday, June 16, one day after the Legislature approved its initial budget package.  The Legislature passed modifications to the first budget bill and most of the accompanying trailer bills on Friday, June 19.  The main budget bills are AB 93 and SB 97, and education trailer bills include AB 104, the K-12 omnibus bill, and SB 78, which makes mainly technical adjustments to the Local Control Funding Formula.

hannah_JennyInitiative Signature Gathering on Track, Preparing for State Water Restrictions and Legislation

In last month’s Message from the Chair, I focused on two critical issues for the school facilities community: C.A.S.H.’s Californians for Quality Schools (CQS) State School Bond Initiative, and the Governor’s Executive Order B-29-15 regarding mandatory state water restrictions.  In this month’s Message, I will update you on both of these key issues, as well as provide information about the Governor’s May Revision Budget and the status of school bond legislation.
