SOS!! State of Emergency Called for Public Schools!!!

State of Emergency Called for Public Schools
What You Can Do NOW
by Adonai Mack, ACSA Legislative Advocate

As we prepare for the governor's release of his May Budget Revision, school leaders must prepare themselves for a variety of outcomes. School leaders must express outrage and concern over any possible budget reductions for public education. It is a time for action and advocacy. To this end, ACSA is joining forces with other education, labor and community groups to declare a Public School State of Emergency to bring attention to the need for lawmakers to pass the revenue extensions proposed by Governor Jerry Brown.

March Newsletter is here FINALLY!



Be sure to join our mailing list so that you can receive our Newsletters!!  If you would like to have this months newsletter please use this QR CODE to view it.



WHAT IS A QR CODE?

WIKIPEDIA:  A QR code (short for Quick Response) is a specific matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code), readable by dedicated QR barcode readers and camera phones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded can be text, URL or other data.


Common in Japan, where it was created by Toyota subsidiary Denso-Wave in 1994, the QR code is one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes. QR is the abbreviation for Quick Response, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.[1]

The technology has seen a large uptake in Japan and South Korea. However, in the west there has been a considerably slower adoption of QR Codes.  You can check out this link to find out more about QR CODES.

HOW DO YOU VIEW A QR CODE?
 
Using your smartphone, download the QR APP, it is free for most, then take a picture of OUR QR Code and it will decode it for you.  In all reality this will only take about 2 minutes the first time and less each time after that!!
