A group of students from the California School for the Deaf-Fremont (CSD) graduated before they could see the end result of the legislative proposal they made last fall to increase the visibility of their school. Now that a bill inspired by that proposal has been signed into law, the U.S. government teacher who spearheaded the project with her 12th-graders says they’ll feel its impact nonetheless.
Gov. Gavin Newsom recently signed AB 2367, paving the way for highway signs to be installed for state special schools like CSD. The bill, authored by District 24 Assemblymember Alex Lee, aims to raise awareness of these schools. During the legislative process, they also advocated for highway signage to be built for the nearby California School for the Blind.
