SACRAMENTO—State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson issued the following statement in connection with Governor Edmund G. Brown Jr.’s May Revision [http://www.gov.ca.gov/news.php?id=18521] of the State Budget:

“Governor Brown’s May Revision reaffirms California’s commitment to local control over education dollars, and continues the state’s progress toward empowering local administrators, teachers, parents, students, and school communities to determine how best to serve our young people. It further frees our schools and districts to do this crucial work by lifting the weight of years of deferred payments.
