California Energy Crisis: How It Impacts The State's Educational Funding
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. California has been faced with numerous social, political and economic issues over the past decade, but one can readily argue how none have had such a broad and far-reaching impact as the energy crisis, detrimentally impacting seemingly unrelated segments of society. The state's educational funding – or the lack thereof – is but one of many offshoots from the energy crisis, inasmuch as federal government policy and Governor Davis's actions have been particularly unfavorable sticking points with regard to their response to the energy crisis, thereby creating many of the educational budget issues that currently exist. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page review of California school funding. The author assesses past and current funding and emphasizes that while questioning the manner in which our public schools are funded and how they utilize those funds is quite prudent, spending too much time fighting about dollars can be as much a detriment to the educational goals as a benefit. Money does not always determine educational quality. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
