The award’s stated purpose is “to ensure that State funding adequately and equitably supports the pursuit of improved educational outcomes for low income, Black and Latinx Students.”
While $900K is a drop in a multi-billion dollar bucket , this new grant does seem to represent a change from the usual Gates public school direction. The Reason Foundation has not expressed interest in improving public schools, but in moving students away from the public system through school vouchers and other choice mechanisms.
Neither the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation nor the Reason Foundation responded to emails requesting further details about the grant. The grant is dated September, but neither organization has announced it publicly. Both folks on the right who disdain Gates meddling and folks on the left who fear Libertarian anti-government tinkering will have to wait to see where this new partnership is headed.
