Got a really interesting note from an excellent program officer at the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation. ????He sent the Department's ideas for best using ARRA funds????to a number of the most reform-minded leaders in the districts the foundation's working with. ????Not a single one of them had seen the document.
This begs the question: How many other reform-minded district employees and reform-oriented nonprofits are unaware that the US Department of Education has provided specific ideas for using nearly $100 billion to advance reform?
