The governor has proposed to change the way schools are funded in California. His plan would give local districts more flexibility, and his funding formula would direct more state funds to districts with large numbers of disadvantaged students. PPIC research fellow Margaret Weston will provide an overview, followed by a panel discussion of education leaders on the implications of the governor's proposal and the relationship between funding and student achievement.
