Letters are due on Thursday, April 25, by 5 pm for AB 549, which requires school safety plans to better define the role of police officers on campus in order to promote effective strategies towards school safety that better support a healthy school climate and student achievement.  AB 549 additionally takes measures to address California’s alarming student-to-counselor ratio of 810-to-1, by prioritizing funding for school counselors and administrators before police officers.  Click here to send a letter of support for AB 549.
