SEATTLE -- The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is putting $16 million into a new high school improvement program that's to be launched this year in eleven high schools in Chicago and two other districts.
Well, It's been over two weeks. 1/11th is well over a million dollars. Why isn't this money flowing into my building? Are our students undeserving? Where is it going?
Did your school get any of this cash? Did it have any impact/make changes?
What would you do with $1 million dollars if you could use it to "improve" your school?

Because the grant doesn't come in the form of discretionary dollars. The grant funded a curriculum and PD effort.
"Did your school get any of this cash?"
None of the 11 high schools received cash
"Did it have any impact/make changes?"
Hmmm. It's the 6th day of school. You were expecting what by now, exactly?
Well, today 10/11/06, you now know where 30 million of bill and melinda's money is going. They're building charter schools. Soon you will be working for pennies thanks to people with millions. No public school dollars
