Tonight! PBS Merrow Report #2

Airing tonight on the NewsHour, the second in a series of reports on NCLB. This one takes us to San Diego, where two schools- Keiller and Gompers Middle Schools-broke off from the school system and converted to charters. How'd they do it? Did it work?

At the same site, you can also get podcasts featuring school leader Patricia Ladd, parent Michelle Evans and former S.D. Superintendent Alan Bersin (disc: Bersin chairs ES board) to learn more details. And see our 2006 ES report , "Extreme Makeover", for more analysis and lessons on Gompers and Keiller.
