SFRP assembled the National Working Group on Funding Student Learning to contribute to the project's body of work and to assess the policy implications of SFRP research.
The Working Group, whose members are identified below, met seven times in 2006-2007 to review preliminary results and advise on the drafting of a summary report and policy recommendations. As part of their work, they also prepared reports applying their expertise to the topic of education finance. The group's summary report and associated policy recommendations are anticipated in 2008.
