School officials may have concluded the challenge grants weren’t doing enough to discourage turnover at high-poverty schools, and teachers union officials may have concluded their top priority must be across-the-board raises for those they represent, but we continue to believe these schools are losing too many instructors. Korbelak points out that federal funds may become available to offer challenge grants in elementary schools next year.

So we’re hoping the program can be brought back stronger and better, and that the opportunity provided by the state law will eventually benefit schools that need a helping hand.
