Governor Newsom signs law to create Antisemitism Prevention Coordinator in California schools

Governor Gavin Newsom has signed legislation establishing California as the first state in the nation to create a statewide “Antisemitism Prevention Coordinator” to oversee all K–12 public schools. This new position aims to address and prevent antisemitism within the educational system.

The legislation was driven by the Jewish Public Affairs Committee of California (JPAC), a lobbying network that serves as the state-level counterpart to AIPAC. The initiative reflects a growing concern over antisemitism in schools and seeks to implement measures to combat this issue effectively.
