Governor vows to fight for reforms so CA can compete for share of $4.3 billion pie

Schwarzenegger: “I want to congratulate President Obama for standing up for education reform. I absolutely agree with the four basic education principles he outlined today, including the need for data systems that allow us to measure student and teacher success by the results they achieve. As I’ve said before, California will fight to be competitive for each and every possible Recovery Act dollar - and this instance is no different. We will seek any reforms or changes to the law deemed necessary, including changes to our data system laws, to ensure California is eligible to compete for our share of Race to the Top Recovery funds.”
