📌SCA 5 Update: Important Dates Ahead
Dear MVA Families and Staff,
Yesterday, we shared information regarding Senate Constitutional Amendment 5 (SCA 5), a proposed constitutional amendment that could affect how certain future education funds are distributed in California.
We wanted to provide a brief update.
The California State Senate adjourned this week without taking up a vote on SCA 5. As a result, the proposal remains under consideration and could be brought forward when the Senate reconvenes on Monday, June 22.
In order for SCA 5 to appear on the November ballot, it must receive legislative approval by June 25.
Regardless of where individuals stand on the proposal, one thing is clear: legislators are hearing from constituents across California, and public engagement is playing an important role in the discussion.
As we shared previously, SCA 5 has generated significant interest because it would create a new funding mechanism that, under the current proposal, would provide benefits to eligible school districts while excluding charter school students from participation.
There is still time for community members to learn more about the proposal and share their perspectives with elected officials if they choose to do so.
If you have not yet reviewed the information and would like to learn more, resources remain available below:

As always, any decision to contact elected officials or participate in the public process is entirely your own. We simply encourage our community to stay informed and make sure their voices are heard on issues that may affect public education and the students we serve.
Thank you for being engaged members of the MVA community.
Warm regards,
Amy Davis
Executive Director
