The State Board of Ed… According to Bob
by Jon Caldara | 3:36 pm, March 30, 2010 | Comments Off
Ever wonder what the Colorado State Board of Education does? I was curious myself, so I tuned in to this 2 part iVoices.org podcast between Fiscal Policy Center Director Penn Pfiffner and former legislator and now current State Board of Education Chairman Bob Schaffer.
In this first installment, Bob gives listeners news from board – what’s going on, what they’re planning, and information regarding the “Race to the Top” funds.
In this second installment, Bob goes over what the board does, its functions, its impact, and how it shapes policy for all of Colorado’s schools.
