2008 EdSource Forum on California Education Policy
Big Visions and Hard Realities: What We Can Do Now
Friday, April 18, 2008 Northern California
Hopes that 2008 would be the "Year of Education" in California have definitely been dashed by the state's budget crisis. We know now what the "hard reality" looks like: $500 million in cuts to education in this current year and a proposal to cut more than $4 billion in 2008-09.
But even facing this grave budget situation, those who care about education continue to think about how to improve our schools, especially the schools that are really struggling. The EdSource Forum program was designed to advance the dialogue on several crucial school issues.
