Now That We Have the Facts

California Parents and Students Voice Their Demands for Public Education. 2007

Californians for Justice joined together with PICO California, California ACORN and Public Advocates to release the first statewide survey capturing parent and student voices from low- and middle-income neighborhoods, articulating their priorities for public education reform. The study, based on the responses of 5,600 adults and young people across California from San Diego to rural Colusa County, makes it clear that parents and students expect their elected officials to begin now to enact the funding and policy changes that will enable all students to obtain the quality education they need and deserve.
