Editorial: Not pretty, but state education bill takes a step - Sacramento Opinion - Sacramento Editorial Sacramento Bee:
"This week will be a big test for the California Legislature, which has the lowest approval ratings since the Field Poll started measuring in 1983.
In particular, it marks a critical step for the Senate and its leader, President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg.
The Pro Tem has called the Senate back into special session Monday to take up legislation to make the state competitive for up to $500 million in federal Race to the Top education grants.
Will California fight President Barack Obama's education agenda for turning around the nation's lowest-performing schools? Or will California be a leading partner?"
