$100 Billion in Education Stimulus Money - How Should It Be Spent?

Monday July 6, 2009
U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan has some choices to make on how best to spend the $100 billion education stimulus package. Consider this: Did you know that 12% of the country's high schools make up almost half of the nation's dropouts?

Shocking, but informative. A New York Times Editorial today outlines and supports a few ideas for how the stimulus money can give our citizens the most "bang for the buck."

What do you think should be the top priorities for education stimulus spending?
