I recognize the importance of education and ensuring that our schools, teachers and students have the resources necessary to help them achieve. Budget cuts at the federal and local level have led to cuts to programs that fund the arts, electives, sports and other extracurricular activities. That's why I was proud to hold a workshop that provided school officials and organizations that serve youth throughout Southeast Los Angeles County with information about grant funding for curriculum development, afterschool programs and arts education.
