About the Pledge
Established in 2017, the Kern Education Pledge was signed by leaders from Kern’s 46 school districts, CSU Bakersfield, Kern Community College District, West Kern Community College District, charter schools, and the larger community, who have committed to working together as one system to improve outcomes for all students as they move through the cradle to career education system.
