EdSource was founded nearly 30 years ago to help explain dramatic changes in California's school finance system. Today, we once again see momentum building around issues related to how California funds its schools. EdSource can help you understand the issues and explain them clearly to other education stakeholders. You can obtain important and timely information on this topic online, in person, and in print publications.  See website:  www.edsource.org.
