The Forum on the Future of Public Education of the College of Education, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign sponsors a symposium exploring models of education funding for states and nations and taking a close look at some new strategies to measure adequate funding.

Establishing the economic value of education as a long-term investment for the state and the country, and having reliable, objective measurements of adequate funding to gain optimal value for investments in education is essential as a matter of public policy.

A Forum on the Future of Public Education event made possible through The Edwin J. O’Leary Endowment in Financial Management in the Department of Educational Organization and Leadership.

When: February 15-16, 2008

Where: THE WHITEHALL HOTEL, 105 East Delaware Place, Chicago, Illinois
