Putting Education Reform To The Test

MICHELLE RHEE, FOUNDER AND CEO OF STUDENTSFIRST, POSES WITH A MAP OF THE UNITED STATES AT HER OFFICE IN SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA

Image #: 17908962 Michelle Rhee, founder and CEO of StudentsFirst, poses with a map of the United States at her office in Sacramento, California, April 27, 2012. Rhee has emerged as the leader of an unlikely coalition of politicians, philanthropists, financiers and entrepreneurs who believe the nation’s $500 billion-a-year public education system needs a massive overhaul. She has vowed to raise $1 billion for her national advocacy group, StudentsFirst, and forever break the hold of teachers unions on education policy.
