U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan says Wyoming will receive $1.1 million to turn around its persistently lowest-achieving schools. The money comes from the Education Department's School Improvement Grants program. The funds are part of $535 million provided through the fiscal 2011 budget and made available to states through the program.
Schools that apply for part of the grant money would have to implement 1 of 4 models for improving schools, whether it's through replacing the principal and much of the staff; reopening as a charter school; closing the school and sending students to higher-achieving schools; or replacing the school and reforming the curriculum.
