It will come as no surprise to most of you that Ed Trust—West supports the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE).

At its core, this test challenges every belief one holds about student and school potential and embodies a new kind of responsibility for student achievement — one borne by educators and students alike. And that makes people angry and afraid.
