2008 Educational Leadership Grants

In June of 2008 the Board awarded five matching grants of $250,000 to schools invited to compete for its newest program.
The Edward E. Ford Educational Leadership initiative.
In April 2009 four more were granted, bringing the total to nine.
These programs must: be generative; be transformational; be replicable; include partnerships; and address the question, "What is the public purpose of private education"?
