<br />
I dug around a bit on CO's dept of ed. webpage but I can't find the report I helped on. This one looks like a follow-up (although I just skimmed it, I can't be sure if it's the same work I was doing):<br />
<a href="http://www.cde.state.co.us/FedPrograms/dl/dper_evalrpts_omnisigevalyr2rev.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.cde.state.co.us/FedPrograms/d&hellip;</a><br />
<br />
There's a bunch of other reports on their website too if you feel adventurous.

      <![CDATA[I did analytical work for Colorado Public Schools, specifically investigating the efficacy of the "No Child Left Behind" programs.<br />
<br />
The results were astonishingly clear: The more state and federal funds a school got, the more the student's achievement rose. Location of the schools was irrelevant - rich and poor and middle class neighborhoods all saw the same results. More money = Better education. Period. No other variables had even close to as much influence.<br />
<br />
We released the results publicly, but no one ever seemed to notice or care much. I guess everyone has their own beliefs, facts be damned.

      <![CDATA[In Washington State, I could imagine the cream of the crop educators designing a new curriculum only to have it savaged eight ways to sunday by a variety of school districts because it didn't meet the specific needs of its student residents.
