Dear Colleagues:



Board President Rich Grosch and members of the San Diego Community College District Board of Trustees unanimously adopted the attached Resolution at their public board meeting on January 28, 2010, pertaining to California's budget crisis and its impact upon education.



Our information and advocacy effort is joined by all shared-governance groups within the San Diego Community College District, and has benefited from the additional efforts of the AFT Guild, Local 1931.  Our message is also being sent to legislators, statewide and community leaders, educators, and others who may play a role in resolving California's fiscal problems.



We want you to be informed of our district's concerns about California's budget policies and we invite you to join our district's effort to seek improved support for education and budget reform.



Sincerely,



Constance M. Carroll



Dr. Constance M. Carroll
