Candidate for State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Richard Barrera spoke to a packed crowd at CTA’s June State Council, “Ensuring that California’s public schools are fully funded is more than a technical issue, it means students and educators have what they need so that young people can move forward and can lead our state,” said Barrera. “Together, we are fighting to build a future that values education and that is driven by the people you are educating in your classrooms right now.”

“Richard Barrera advanced through this primary because he has shown a depth of commitment to public schools and working families for decades and California educators are confident that he will be victorious in November” said CTA President David B. Goldberg. “Barrera is the only candidate who will work to protect the future of public education in California, and ensure public schools are fully-funded and accessible for everyone. We are ready to do whatever it takes to elect Richard Barrera as our next Superintendent of Public Instruction - the future of California is at stake in this election.”

Did you know part-time faculty aren’t paid for the office hours they spend helping students? We’re fighting to change that.

Last year, educators won funding for crucial student services. This year, we’re calling on state legislators to include full funding for office hours for part-time community college faculty in the 2026-27 State Budget.

Go to https://actionnetwork.org/letters/fully-fund-part-time-faculty-office-hours/ to tell the State Budget Committee to support our part-time faculty and critical student services.

📢 On to November!

Our CTA-recommended candidate Richard Barrera is headed to the General Election, thanks to the hard work of educators across California who knocked on doors, talked with voters, and helped turn out the vote.

As President of the San Diego Unified School Board for 16 years, Richard Barrera worked with teachers to turn one of California's largest districts into one of the highest performing in the country. He's earned the endorsement of 310,000 educators because he puts students first.

This moment belongs to every member who took action. But our work isn't done yet. The countdown to November starts now!
