The California Teacher’s Association (CTA) will continue airing an attack ad against Governor Gavin Newsom despite reaching an agreement with the governor over school funding cuts. The ad claims that classrooms “face a monumental crisis” under Newsom’s budget revision, even though the governor has since rolled back his initial proposal to cut education funding. The CTA, a powerful progressive teachers union, is a longtime ally of Newsom and has contributed millions of dollars to his campaigns. The agreement between Newsom and the CTA ensures that schools will receive an additional $5.5 billion in the future, but the CTA will continue to monitor any attempts to weaken the constitutional protections behind the Proposition 98 funding guarantee.
