emphasizing competitive funding, accountability for
outcomes, and evidence of results.

Reward and learn from progress & growth
Narrowed curriculum
Well-rounded education
Focusing on tests in math and ELA
Allow all subjects, fund better tests
Focus on gaps & equity
Focus on achievement of all student groups
