Are you up to date with California's education plans? Check this out. Proposition 2 would issue $10 billion in bonds, with $8.5 billion dedicated to elementary and secondary educational facilities and $1.5 billion for community college facilities. It would also change the formula used to determine the amount each district is required to contribute to be eligible to receive state funding from the bond revenue. The measure would have required the state government to cover between 50 and 55% of construction project costs and 60 and 65% of modernization project costs. A "yes" vote supports issuing $10 billion in bonds to fund construction and modernization of public education facilities. A "no" vote opposes issuing $10 billion in bonds to fund construction and modernization of public education facilities. REGISTER! VOTE!

It Is World Suicide Prevention Day! At BOSS, true healing begins in spaces where individuals feel safe, supported, and understood. We have committed to creating safe havens and spaces for prioritizing healing, safety, and community support. Last month, the Teal & Purple Carpet was rolled out for survivors, family, friends, and the community for "Be Here Tomorrow," a conference led by The Healing Circle Organization to destigmatize mental health and suicide. The Healing Circle believes in the inherent strength and resilience of survivors. It is dedicated to fostering an environment where healing and growth can flourish, ensuring no survivor walks their path alone. Today, let's celebrate the resilience and strength of those who have overcome their battles with mental health. Let's spread love, kindness, and understanding to support those struggling. You are not alone.
