Solutions for Closing the Achievement Gap

The second in a series of three forums exploring causes and solutions to California's troubling achievement gap drew more than 100 participants to Google's Mountain View campus on March 17th.

The first forum was held on February 26, 2010 at HP in Palo Alto and the third forum was held on April 28, 2010 at Silicon Valley Community Foundation's office in Moundain View.
