"California is transforming education from pre-kindergarten through to college and beyond, empowering students and families with more supports, more choices, and more opportunities," says Gov.
Gavin Newsom in a press release announcing the state's win of the 2022 Frank Newman Award for State Innovation from the Education Commission of the States.
"There is no other state doing as much to advance educational equity for its neediest students as California is doing today."
The award, which the commission calls "the preeminent education policy award in the nation," is given to states that have made "significant improvements in educating all students and closing equity gaps," per the release.
Among other things, California has expanded early childhood education, made public college tuition-free for full-time students, and now provides two free meals per day to all public school students regardless of family income, the Los Angeles Times reports.
"This award recognizes the hard work that's gone into this transformative change by leaders throughout the stateincluding legislators, state government partners, educators, staff, administrators, and local leadersand the winners here are California's kids and parents," says Newsom.
