CRLA's Response to California Bill AB 1935

The CRLA board is watching with great interest as legislative battles over learning assistance take place around the country. California Bill AB 1935 is an active bill pending referral which should be of great interest to us.

Please consider sharing this information with your own representatives and other interested parties. The CRLA Board provides this information to you as a tool, and encourages you to become more active in the legislative arena.

Thank you for your support of learning assistance!

Conference Volunteer Positions

The 2019 Conference team has volunteer positions that need to be filled with enthusiastic, committed, and knowledgeable individuals. If you are interested, please email Lindley Workman Alyea, 2019 On-Site Chair.
