states have approached the question of determining how much it costs to educate
students to the standards of a high-quality education. What does a school need
to have in terms of staffing, to deliver that education? Conley is one of the
nation's foremost experts in this area, and has worked with several states,
including Oregon and Hawaii, on these issues.<BR><BR>These forums are an
important part of the district-wide planning process. Superintendent Lawrence
encourages the community to take advantage of this opportunity to attend and
participate in all of the forums. All of the speakers in the series have been
specifically selected for their particular expertise.<BR><BR>Watch the BUSD
