Sacramento, CA (May 14, 2025) \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Today, EdVoice CEO Marshall Tuck issued the following statement in response to Governor Gavin Newsom\u2019s May Revision of the 2025-2026 state budget:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cGovernor Newsom\u2019s May Revision reflects real leadership in a tough budget year. Despite significant fiscal headwinds, the Governor prioritized the needs of California’s children \u2013 investing $200 million in evidence-based literacy practices for elementary teachers. This is a clear commitment to providing educators with the tools needed to effectively teach children in California to learn to read.<\/p>\n

\n

We know that reading is the gateway to a life of opportunity. The investment in evidence-based professional development for teachers builds on a comprehensive approach to uplifting the reading outcomes of children across the state \u2013 including universal screening for reading difficulties set to begin in the 2025-26 school year. We are grateful to this administration\u2019s commitment to early literacy, as well as the leadership of Speaker Rivas, Assemblymember Rubio, and Assemblymember Muratsuchi in introducing\u00a0AB 1454<\/a>, which will align both professional development\u00a0and<\/em>\u00a0instructional materials with decades of reading research on how children learn to read.<\/p>\n

\n

Governor Newsom is leading the way by investing in our teachers, kids, and our future. We urge the Legislature to approve the Governor’s proposal to invest $200 million in teacher training in evidence-based reading and continue this momentum by advancing\u00a0AB 1454<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n
