Watching that stimulus money

In the continually evolving stimulus package, it looks as though some may be headed for schools. There are, of course, some strings, and we should keep an eye on them.
  • Training and retaining teachers in the nations weaker schools. A good idea and a hard one to execute.
  • Fixing buildings. No complaints here!
  • Improving state tests under NCLB. Huh. What does that mean, exactly?
So far the only place I've seen this is this short mention in USA Today; I'll keep an eye out for more details.
