Unless you have triskadekaphobia, Part 13 gives more of the priority schools background at the Delaware DOE before they made the big announcement on September 4th, 2014. These emails were all part of a FOIA request another individual received last fall.
In Part 13, we see the Delaware DOE reaching out to other states to see how this is done.
I would put up all the Colorado stuff, but most of it can be seen at the website in the email: http://www.cde.state.co.us/accountability/turnaroundnetwork
It’s fascinating to me that the DOE didn’t do all this work prior to knowing which schools they had. They only knew they wanted these schools and didn’t do a bit of research to determine if priority status was the best thing for these schools. It definitely hints at a predetermined agenda and the priority schools was a means to achieve that…
