Spending education money in the right places

The Local Control Funding Formula has brought students -- about classroom size, materials, and facilities -- to the fore of education politics.  They want to persuade decision-makers to spend the education budget in a way that addresses their concerns.  Oakland high school student Sierra Donnies ompares education to a baseball game.  "The schools with more funding sit in box seats, with a great view of the game. My school’s in the bleachers."  Hear her commentary, which aired on KQED, on Youth Radio.
