This spring, SLCUSD staff created two Parent Advocacy Committees (PACs): one focused on TK funding, and the other on PG&E revenue. The district asked parents to support state legislation securing TK money for SLCUSD and other basic aid districts, but the bill did not make it out of the Budget Committee. More detailed information on SLCUSD and TK funding can be found here.

The PG&E revenue PAC developed an Advocacy Plan and FAQ with the goal of garnering support for the extension of PG&E’s Community Impact payments. The creators of SLC-PIN worked with district staff (as part of the PAC) through the spring and summer, but ultimately decided it was important to inform and organize parents using a framework separate from the district-organized advisory committee. We believe it is important to have an organization whose sole priority is the students of SLCUSD, which is what SLC-PIN aims to be.

In November 2025, SLC-PIN launched our first advocacy campaign, with hundreds of parents sending messages to PG&E executives and elected officials calling for a conversation about how to protect school funding. PG&E sent parents a form email that was not responsive to our requests, and has maintained the (confused) stance that legislation is the only path forward for our community. We disagree.

Education funding is difficult and complicated. Budget cuts are difficult and complicated. Legislative action is difficult and complicated. We believe we need to close the information gap on issues fundamental to the welfare of our children, and hope this website can help.
