What an opportunity! On Friday, I got the chance to meet Governor Doyle and State Superintendant Tony Evers during their visit to Glacial Drumlin School. Both men discussed how Wisconsin is planning an application to the Federal Program Race to the Top - the Monona Grove School District alone stands to gain nearly $200,000 if the state is successful. 97% of Wisconsin schools have joined the Governor in approving this application.

After the press conference, I got the opportunity to talk more with Tony Evers on the role of parents during the application process. He discussed his thoughts on a survey to get the input of parents and what they think is important for their kids' education.
