Good Afternoon San Luis Obispo City Council,
I am writing today to encourage the City Council to keep childcare in the forefront of the
City's Goals as you plan in your upcoming session. The story of our local childcare crisis has
been well-told and it is imperative that we prioritize taking action and mobilize resources to
increase childcare capacity and address the workforce pipleline challenges that we each
experience in our respective agencies.
Cal Poly is making strides in these same areas and I hope that you will strive to make
childcare one of your strategic goals.
Thank you for your time and consideration ~
Dr. Patty Clarkson
