MONTEREY COUNTY – On the third day of his California Comeback tour, Governor Gavin Newsom will today travel to Monterey County to announce his proposal for an unprecedented level of state school funding to better support the social-emotional well-being of students and transform schools into gateways of opportunity.
The Governor has so far this week announced a $12 billion plan to tackle the homelessness crisis, the largest investment of its kind in California history; immediate relief for Californians recovering from the pandemic, which includes the largest state tax rebate in American history in the form of direct checks to Californians; and a $5.1 billion package supporting the state’s drought response and water infrastructure, improving the state’s resilience to climate change.
