Why the Race Watch?

Have you participated in my totally unscientific Race to the Top poll? It's in the bar to the right.

Should Christina participate? Have your say and while your at it, drop me a comment by clicking on the link at the bottom of this post. (It's the envelope icon.)

So, Why the Race Watch?   The official media spin from our federal government is that Race to the Top is "the way" to go.  We know that Delaware has been repeatedly characterized as being "well-positioned" to win some of those dollars.

But, it would be foolish to come to conclusions about this money with its many strings attached within the single scope of the "Delaware bubble."  We can and should seek guidance from other districts and states, and search out valid opinions and relevent questions.  We are the greatest threat to our own success when "We don't know what we don't know."

The Christina BOE will be asked to vote on the Memoranda between the State of Delaware and the district.  Perhaps you've come to conclusion that I've already decided my vote.  I have not.  But, I am seeking fair and balanced information and making an effort to share it with you.

The CSD has tentatively scheduled a meeting regarding the Race to the Top for Jan. 6th.  More details and confirmation to come so stay tuned.
