Subject: Support SB 1070 Fix Our Schools
Dear Senator,
Please vote for SB 1070 when it comes before you on the Senate floor.
SB 1070 would require the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges and the Superintendent of Public Instruction to work with middle schools, high schools, and regional
occupational centers to increase the number of students who complete high school and go on to college.
Nearly 100,000 California pupils dropped out of middle school and high school in the 2008-09 school year, a number equivalent in size to the population of the City of San Mateo or the City of
Compton.
Gainful employment prospects for dropouts are shrinking, because of the changing nature of the California economy. A report from the Public Policy Institute of California projects that by
2025, two of every five, or 41 percent, of jobs will require a college degree. That's an increase from less than one-third of all jobs in 2005.
Currently, even those going on to college are largely unprepared for college work. A report from a California Community College task force indicates that 70% of new Community College students are unprepared for college work.
Sadly our educational system is broken. The coordination between colleges and pre-college educational institutions can do much to fix it. It will allow our public colleges to advise and assist the pre-college schools to better prepare students for college work.
Please vote for SB 1070 in the Senate.
Sincerely,
