Where We Stand on Education

Our education initiatives focus on addressing the challenges of a global economy, rapidly changing demographics, and a lingering and dangerous achievement gap for minority and low-income students. We have developed innovative programs to address these issues, including expanding learning time, finding and retaining highly effective teachers and principals, and promoting national standards, accountability, and fiscal equity.
