CCEF is committed to keeping you informed as key decisions are made in 
Sacramento over the next few months to implement Proposition 30. The new
 Legislature will be bombarded with demands by interest groups and 
agencies to restore cut services and programs. CCEF’s mission is to 
enable all local education foundations to have the knowledge, capacity, 
and resources to effectively support education in their communities. 
This is a time for all local education foundation leaders and supporters
 of public education to be informed and speak out on behalf of the 
children and communities we serve. These are tough times and tough 
decisions are going to be made by the Legislature that will impact your 
foundation.&lt;br /&gt;
