The most interesting part ...

• Quinn appoints Illinois RttT Committee.

  
  Fred Klonsky's blog — Authority: 476
  It will be interesting to see what comes out of the committee that Governor Pat Quinn established to coordinate efforts to get a piece of the Race to the Top money. The USDE requirements for receiving RttT money rest heavily on bogus accountability measures. Governor Quinn was joined at the announcement of the ...

  Despite the rainy weather, early morning start, and day-before-Thanksgiving scheduling, the CAP event with Secretary Duncan and NYC Mayor Bloomberg was standing room only. Going in it wasn’t at all clear what the actual purpose of the event was ( Ed Trust’s Kati Haycock was on the panel as well).
