Abstract	This technical report is the second edition of "Conditions of Education in California," and contains 53 figures and tables of data that range from student test performances to state revenue projections. Following a summary of state education highlights, the section "The Evolving Context of California Education" presents past, present and future issues. Despite improvements resulting from recent major educational reform, school financing is returning to 1979-80 levels; the researchers argue that taxpayer sacrifices may be necessary. This section gives an overview of factors affecting the state's educational future. including teacher shortages and economic conditions. The next section, "Student Enrollment, Ethnicity, and Language" discusses enrollment projections and the roles of state ethnic populations and their languages. "Student Performance" analyzes test scores as reflections of achievement and minority student test performance. Measures include the California Assessment Program and the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Test scores are supplemented by such data as student absenteeism rates and admissions to postsecondary institutions. The section "Curriculum and School Reform" includes descriptions of teacher programs and salaries and the School Based Program Coordination Act. "Human Resources" evaluates teachers' salaries relative to workloads. The final section, "Fiscal Resources," offers national comparisons of funding, enrollment projections, and fiscal needs. Four pages of references are included. (CJH)
