We are extremely pleased that these four leading national foundations have stepped forward to support these ambitious studies and this important work. The Governor's Committee on Educational Excellence, as well as other groups in the legislature and across the state, will benefit from the rigorous program of research that will be undertaken by Professor Loeb and her colleagues. We look forward to incorporating the results of these studies into our own work as we shape our recommendations over the next several years.
