At Least VCU and UR Are Looking Out for Richmond's Students

More evidence that time and progress don't stop when politicians fiddle:

The University of Richmond and Virginia Commonwealth University have established a partnership to improve K-12 school leadership, instruction and student achievement in greater Richmond.

The partnership, called EDULEAD, will offer an expanded number of leadership programs to four groups of public school leaders, aspiring principals, principals of academically struggling schools, first-year principals and principals of highly successful schools. The partnership also will follow up with impact studies.

If you can't develop leadership at the top, head for the middle.
