CITE Advocacy Logo

CITE advocates year-round to support California's K-12 technologists and data professionals. Our Advocacy Committee meets regularly with our advocate, Capitol Advisors Group (CAG) to provide meaningful, relevant information to our California legislators regarding the use of technology in schools. Members receive updates on current bills and new laws affecting schools. CITE visits California and Washington, D.C. legislators multiple times each year to advocate for the appropriate funding and support for technology used in schools. We also partner with other associations when appropriate to provide a single voice for all appropriate stakeholders to help influence policy and legislation.
