*PERK supports efforts to combat racism and discrimination, but as an organization who advocates for education and parental rights, WE OPPOSE AB 1078. 

AB-1078 - Instructional materials and curriculum

This bill would remove local school districts from the equation of deciding the best literature and curriculum for the communities served. Local school districts will lose their authority over curriculum and give all the power to the County Superintendent and California Board of Education. It includes financial penalties to school districts who don’t comply.

AB 1078 was passed out of Senate Thursday, Sept. 7th and passed out of Assembly concurrence in the same afternoon. It’s on a fast track to become law and now on the Governor’s desk. Take action immediately to oppose this bill.
