Implementation of school turnaround strategies under School Improvement Grant and Race to the Top programs has provided States with a unique opportunity to rethink how to govern effectively and to organize their efforts to improve their lowest achieving schools. States have had to consider such issues as whether to provide support directly to their lowest achieving schools or to support school districts in implementing intervention strategies at the school level. In addition, States have had to consider whether to reorganize State structures dedicated to supporting school improvement. The purpose of this publication is to provide a snapshot of some of the approaches that Race to the Top States have taken to address these issues.
