Question 1: Funding Model

The draft Plan proposes: Develop a California Quality Education Model and use it to determine a level of funding that would be adequate to support a high quality education for every public school student.

Question 1:

- Do you find this an improvement over the current funding model? *

- If funding on the basis of a quality education will cost significantly more, what would be the best way to pay for it?
