New Obama RttT Plan To Reward Districts For Raising Class Size

More change we can believe in from President Accountability:

The reimagined Race to the Top program would also seek to encourage districts to increase productivity during tight budget times by rewarding changes that improve student outcomes while saving money. In the past, Secretary Duncan has called for steps such as increasing class sizes and revamping teacher-tenure rules.

So now districts can win RttT lottery money - a one time windfall - by increasing class sizes and ending teacher tenure.

Remind me again why any teacher would vote for Barack Obama in 2012?
