Abstract	This report is the last in a three-part series examining the relationship between school resources and student achievement in California. The central focus in all three reports has been the standards-based reform of California public schools. Between 1995 and 1998, California introduced academic content standards specifying what students should learn in every grade. The question the state now faces is whether its schools have an adequate level of resources to meet these new expectations. The main purpose of this effort was to understand how California schools are responding to the state's academic standards, what resources they currently have, and what resources they think they need to meet those standards. The current report provides additional perspectives on the adequacy question based on site visits we conducted during the 2002-2003 school year at 49 schools in 22 districts throughout California. During these visits, the authors interviewed the principals and superintendents and surveyed teachers. The also gathered financial data to trace revenues and expenditures down to the school level. The main purpose of this effort was to understand how California schools are responding to the state's academic standards, what resources they currently have, and what resources they think they need to meet those standards. The following are appended: (1) Data Sources; (2) Sampling Method; and (3) School Finance Data. (Contains 2 figures and 31 tables.) (ERIC).
