on May 07, 2009 by Coalition for Student Achievement

The federal government's unprecedented $100 billion investment in our nation's public schools through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) offers a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform public education. We believe that states and districts must use these funds to act smartly and with focus to set the groundwork for real student improvement for decades to come preparing many more young people to graduate high school ready for college and careers.

Our Goal: By January 2012 Americans should expect to see a common core of fewer, clearer, higher, evidence-based, college- and career-ready standards adopted by at least 40 states representing the majority of the nation's students.
