Hope Street Group was proud to be one of 40 participants in a Washington, DC summit held in early April to discuss wise investments of money for education reform, driven by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA). The outcome of the summit is a publication, released today by the Coalition for Student Achievement and posted on their website.
This publication outlines several strategies for spending ARRA funds to improve schools through real reform. Although not an exhaustive or exclusive list, the recommendations offer a valuable starting point for states and districts committed to implementing the reform assurances of the law. They offer examples of the kinds of activities we hope the Race to the Top and Invest in What Works and Innovation Funds will promote.
