With school budgets in crisis and critics decrying the quality of public education, what does this bode for the future of California? Can the state remain smart and competitive? Ultimately, will we have qualified leaders to carry forth the mantle of our cutting-edge technology as well as the other businesses necessary for economic success?

This program was recorded in front of a live audience at the Commonwealth Club of California on March 31, 2010.
