About Us
Pacific Research Institute
The mission of the Pacific Research Institute (PRI) is to
champion freedom, opportunity, and personal responsibility for all individuals by advancing
free-market policy solutions. Since its founding in 1979, PRI has remained steadfast to the vision
of a free and civil society where individuals can achieve their full potential. Put simply, public
policy is too important to be left just to the experts. Individuals are the real decision makers
when it comes to their schools, health care, and environment. PRI reinforces this ideal by
providing you with the information, inspiration, and opportunity to make decisions about the
daily issues that matter most to you.
California Business for Education Excellence
The mission of California Business for Education Excellence
is to raise student academic achievement and close achievement gaps in California public schools
by ensuring every student reaches a minimum of grade level proficiency. This is accomplished by
providing a voice to high performing, high poverty public schools so that all schools can
replicate their best practices. Since 1998, CBEE has worked to focus businesses around a common
agenda for better public schools and serves as the California business community's leading
voice in education.
Educational Results Partnership
The non-profit organization Educational Results Partnership
provides a free on-line data and school improvement system called EdResults.org to California's public schools and
communities. EdResults.org promotes measurably improved academic achievement in public schools through
focused use of achievement data, benchmarking and replicating best practices from high performing
look-a-like schools. The EdResults.org school improvement system has become the largest longitudinally
linked, student academic achievement database in California and is receiving three millions hits
per month from California schools and communities.
