Education
and the Energy Crisis
EDUCATION DISCUSSION PT. 1 This week, Capitolweek turns to one of the state's concerns that has been forgotten in the wake of the energy crisis: education. Many public schools are outdated, underfunded, and inadequately staffed. What can be done? And will the cost of energy impede on the state's ability to improve public education? We've assembled a group of educators and public administrators to help answer these questions. Guests: Delaine Eastin, State Superintendent of Public Instruction; Kerry Mazzoni, California Education Secretary; Kevin Gordon, California Association of School Business Officials; Wayne Johnson, President of the California Teachers Association
