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 forum, which focused on solutions for closing the gap – also called the racial gap – was jointly sponsored by SVEF and the Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
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.

Through a facilitated discussion, attendees reflected on their own experience and what they have heard to identify changes in policy that are needed to affect local school practice.
