Abstract
Since the introduction of the Coleman Report (1966), the focus on closing the achievement gap has been a critical component of educational policy for political leaders and field research by educators. The economic crisis which California and the nation at large currently face creates a challenging situation in attempting to narrow the gap. Cultural and economic implications are huge if public schools continue to fail in fully preparing minority and socioeconomically disadvantaged children.
