USDOE Awards Ariz., N.H. $12M for School Turnarounds

U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan today announced that Arizona and New Hampshire will receive more than $12 million to continue efforts to turn around their persistently lowest-achieving schools through new awards from the Department's School Improvement Grants (SIG) program. Both Arizona and New Hampshire will use these funds to make awards to a new cohort of their lowest-performing schools.
