The California Mayors Education Roundtable, a WestEd initiative, brings together mayors of California’s larger cities, district superintendents, and their key staff to share data, evidence-based and promising practices, and programmatic strategies that can help address local challenges affecting students’ educational and career success. The Roundtable is convened by WestEd and funded with core support by The James Irvine Foundation.
