"If you're going to maintain high goals, clearly you need to have a decent level of investment."
-John Rogers, IDEA director
in LA Times

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown released an eight-page education plan on his campaign website Wednesday that outlined his reforms, including overhauling state testing, fixing the financing system, increasing rate of high school graduates and more.

IDEA Director John Rogers commented on the plan in an article appearing in the Los Angeles Times Thursday.

"It is surprising there wouldn't be some discussion of the need for more funding so California can enter the bottom third rather than being among the very lowest," Rogers said. "If you're going to maintain high goals, clearly you need to have a decent level of investment."
