April 25 – 27, Standard School District Superintendent Paul Meyers and Board President Pam Jacobsen participated in the California School Boards Association (CSBA) and the Association of California School Administrators’ (ACSA) Coast2Coast 2022 federal advocacy trip to Washington, D.C. to shine a light on the issues affecting the state’s 6 million students. About 200 California school and county board members and superintendents attended this three-day event that consisted of meetings on Capitol Hill to advocate directly with California congressional representatives, a special visit to meet with VPOTUS Kamala Harris’ staff at the White House, and a meeting with Deputy Under Secretary of Education Cindy Martin.
