Check out Quick and the Ed on Iowa's faux RTT reforms. Looks like the state is barely changing its weak charter law and selling it as more. As Chad Aldeman writes:
Hopefully Arne Duncan and his team of RTTT Fund evaluators will be able to spot the difference between real reform and quick, reform-like changes pursued by Iowa.
Very good description of the Trojan Horse challenge facing ED.
