Andrew Cuomo has his own nifty program "Education Performance and Efficiency Grants" for school districts in New York State similar to the one his protege, U.S. Secretary Arne Duncan concocted in the department of education. "The budget establishes “Education Performance and Efficiency Grants,” which will be awarded on a competitive basis to school districts that demonstrate significant improvements in student performance and to districts that undertake long term structural changes to reduce costs and improve efficiency. In other words, districts will be forced to compete over which can make the most drastic cuts in order to receive meager additional funds.
