Joined law enforcement from across the state to mourn our fallen heroes.
My deepest condolences to the family and friends of the officers memorialized at this year’s California Peace Officers’ Memorial.
California is eternally in their debt.
From introducing students to new ideas to providing them the tools they need to succeed, great teachers change lives—mine certainly did.
This week and always, I thank California’s teachers for their service to our state.
