	Resource Needs for English Learners: Getting Down to Policy Recommendations
	
	by Patricia Gandara, Julie Maxwell-Jolly, and Russell Rumberger
	
	In 2006, California's Governor and Legislature commissioned a set of
	24 academic research papers to examine the educational governance and
	finance systems of the state. The studies, collectively referred to as
	Getting Down to Facts, were intended to form a basis for engaging
	stakeholders in deep conversations about possible education policy
	alternatives.
	
	This Policy Report is an extension of one of those original 24 papers,
	and is the result of deliberations from several informal meetings and
	two formal convenings of major stakeholders in the area of English
	learner education. Based on data examined in the initial report, it
	suggests a series of policy options the state should consider to
	strengthen the educational offerings and outcomes for California's
	burgeoning population of linguistic minority students.
