Here is a glimpse from today's letter to State School Officers....

April 1, 2009

Dear Chief State School Officers:

This is a critical time in our country, and an extraordinary time to be working in education. As President Barack Obama said when he announced the goals of the Administration's education reform agenda, America will not remain true to its highest ideals unless we give our nation's children the knowledge and skills they need in this new and changing world. Moreover, reforming our education system is essential to restoring our economic prosperity. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) provides over $100 billion for education and early childhood programs and services. This funding will not only help to save jobs and support States and school districts, but also creates a historic opportunity to advance reforms and improvements that will create long-lasting results for our students and our nation.
