Public Schools 101

Are schools what we want them to be?

A public meeting will be held on Sunday, November 14, 3-6pm in the Garden House at Shoup Park in Los Altos. Join the discussion and participate in updating the California League of Woment Voters positions on education policy.

Los Altos - Mountain View League of Women Voters invites its membership and the general public to join in a dynamic discussion of education in California today. Local education leaders and policy makers, including Stanford University's Michael Kirst, will engage participants in a review of school finance, accountability and governance, as well as delve into issues regarding equity, learning readiness, and school choice. League members have a special opportunity to contribute to updating the League's 20-year-old consensus positions by working together through a series of five rigorous study questions. The public is invited to observe the consensus process. No charge for admission. Babysitting available.

For background information look at the Education Update Study, 2003-2004 from the League of Women Voters of California.
