A group of local and national organizations on Monday announced a $2 million grant competition meant to spur the creation of District schools that combine online and face-to-face instruction. D.C. competition is open to traditional and charter schools that want to redesign their instruction. Also eligible are groups seeking to open new schools in the District. The aim is to encourage the use of technology to reach each student at his or her own level, a personalized approach that has gained momentum around the country. Funders see it as a powerful way to lift achievement quickly.
