WHY NOW? 
Because our students need more than a few great schools.

The call for increasing the rigor of instruction for all students, especially lower-income students and students of color, requires restructuring school systems. School System 20/20 is our vision for transforming school systems so every school succeeds for every student because of the system - not in spite of it.
