About This Podcast
California once ranked among the top states in per student investment. What happened and what will it take for us to climb our way back?

From local educators, parents and district leaders to education advocates, researchers and State Capitol insiders, we explore the stories of those who have had a hand in shaping education funding and policy, and all those touched by it.
