San Francisco, CA – Despite significant increases in funding, California’s public school system is still inadequately educating the state’s students, according to the California Index of Leading Education Indicators 2000.
In Sacramento, politicians on both sides of the aisle are clamoring to increase funding for education. However, last month a poll showed that while Caifornians believe that the public schools are getting worse, they oppose raising taxes for more education spending. The public's reluctance to pour more money into the government-run school system is understandable considering recent examples of government mismanagement of education tax dollars.
