"California's Public Schools represent an investment in the future. In these times when we are challenged with many needs and scarce resources it is important for all of us to assure that the investment we are making in public school facilties represents the best value economically and socially. We must demand that our schools are high performance facilities, that engage with their communities and enrich the lives of all of us."
