Gov. Eliot Spitzer's historic education-reform plan aims to hold New York's schools more accountable than ever before. But is the state's educational-accountability system equipped to meet this challenge?

That question was the focus of a major public-policy forum March 8 at the State Capitol in Albany. The event was co-sponsored by the Empire Center for New York State Policy and the Foundation for Education Reform and Accountability.

A record of this event, including audio files of remarks by participants and links to materials presented at the forum, can be found here.
