Decision 2016 We begin this issue of the Inland Empire Outlook with an overview of the Rose Institute of State and Local Government’s Video Voter: A Guide to California Ballot Measures, a set of videos and papers explaining all 17 California ballot measures (p.2). Then we examine the implementation of the Local Control Funding Formula in Riverside County school districts (p.8). Next, our analysis of the latest employment data shows a healthy recovery for jobs in the Inland Empire (p.13). We then review the history of bilingual education in California, examine Proposition 58, and discuss its potential effects on Inland Empire districts (p.18). Finally, we look at the robust renewable energy industry in the Inland Empire (p.24).
