Achievement Bonanza!

New data (pdf) from the Council of Great City Schools on urban schools. A lot of data in here, particularly performance and finance.

The Achievement Alliance, a pro-NCLB organization founded by the Ed Trust, National Council of La Raza, Just for the Kids/NCEA, and the Business Roundtable has a new newsletter you can sign up for. First one here, some interesting stuff, good unpacking of “adequate yearly progress”.
