Homework For The New Administration And The 111th Congress

Entering a new era in Washington is a good time for many things, including a good hard look at what needs to be done to improve our education system, from pre-kindergarten all the way up through college. With that in mind, we've put together an education reform "to do" list for the president-elect and members of the 111th Congress. We invite you to check out the list and then log on to our site to discuss the education issues you feel should be priorities in 2009.
