About this event
The State of California spends more than a third of its estimated $248.3 billion General Fund Budget on K-12 education. The state Superintendent of Public Instruction (SPI) is an important, high-profile elected position responsible for leading the California Department of Education (CDE) and overseeing public education for more than 6 million K-12 students.

In the upcoming June Primary Election, Californians will be voting for a new superintendent. The top two vote-getters will advance to the General Election in November. To help voters with this critical decision, CPI and co-host AAUW California are hosting a free, open to the public, online candidate forum. All of the declared candidates have been invited to share their views on Saturday, April 25, 2026 from 9 am - 10:30am. As of press time, six of 10 candidates are confirmed to participate: Richard Barrera, Nichelle M. Henderson, Frank Lara, Wendy Casteneda Leal, Gus Mattammal, Al Maratsuchi, and Anthony Rendon.

Once again, our annual Antique Appraisal Faire was a success! We raised funds to send local 7th grade girls to Tech Trek STEM summer camp at UC Davis. A big thank you to everyone who pitched in, and to our appraisers!
