California Education Chief Pushes P-16 Approach

The January 28 issue of "Online News", a publication of the National Institute for Early Education Research carried this story:

"If California Superintendent of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell has his way, policymakers there will eventually replace the K-12 public school mentality with P-16 รท prekindergarten to 4 years after high school. In his annual address on the condition of public schools, O'Connell said P-16 should begin with publicly funded preschool for all 4-year-olds and called on Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to restore $2.3 billion in Proposition 98 funding for schools that the governor proposed eliminating in next year's budget. O'Connell says even students who choose not to attend traditional college need advanced academic skills after high school to perform jobs in today's economy."
