Governor's Message
To the Members of the California State Senate: 

I am returning Senate Bill 1391 without my signature. 

This bill would require the Office of Cradle-to-Career (C2C) to create a teacher training and retention dashboard that would provide specified trends on California's teacher workforce by January 1, 2026.

I appreciate the author's commitment to better understanding the teacher workforce at each segment of the educator pipeline, but this bill is unnecessary and its prescriptive requirements around data elements are problematic. The C2C is already creating a teacher training and retention dashboard in collaboration with the relevant data providers, and the dashboard will include many of the elements specified in this bill. Under the existing process, however, data providers retain sole control over their data provided to C2C, and there are some elements in the bill for which C2C does not currently receive data.

The Cradle-to-Career Data System has been created through careful negotiation and collaboration. Each year, there is a process that includes public engagement to develop a strategic work plan adopted by the Governing Board, which includes a member of the Senate and Assembly, as well as members appointed by each house, at a public meeting. This process ensures data quality and usability, that the C2C is responsive to public and legislative input, and that the C2C can produce informative data. Respecting this carefully negotiated balance will ensure the long-term success of the C2C Data System.

For these reasons, I cannot sign this bill.

Sincerely, 



Gavin Newsom
