Budgets are Statements of Values

On Friday, March 18, 2022, our San Mateo County Board of Education had a Budget Study Session to hear how the County Office of Education is developing and managing the budget. I learned more about how our Board has historically been very diligent in reviewing and approving the SMCOE budget. We had a great conversation about our continuing need to advocate for increased and fair funding for education, especially in regard to retaining the $28M that the State currently sweeps from our SMCOE "excess property taxes"... if you're interested in knowing more about that, let me know! #Advocating #ForKids #ForSanMateoCounty
