Assemblymember Swanson Invites You to a Hearing on State School Financial Takeovers

Assemblymember Sandré R. Swanson, Chair of the Select Committee on State School Financial Takeovers, invites you to attend a hearing in Oakland on Friday, January 27, 2012, to hear from affected school districts and communities and to discuss solutions to help prevent districts from being taken over by the state in the future.

"Public schools are the heart of our democracy and it is unacceptable that so many of them are experiencing budget stresses that make it impossible to operate in a meaningful and healthy way. The Select Committee on State School Financial Takeovers will spend the next year working with a forward-thinking group of state legislators, school districts, and leading education finance experts to help schools avoid the financial problems leading to state takeover," said Assemblymember Swanson.

When:
Friday, January 27, 2012
1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Where:
Oakland City Hall
City Council Chambers, 1 Frank Ogawa H. Plaza
