About Us

Here's what they're saying about the education editors behind School Grants 2009:

"Highly Respected" — the Achievement Alliance

"Increasingly frisky" — eduwonk.com

Praised for "aggressive muckraking" — the Washington Post

The education team at Thompson Publishing Group, which brings you SchoolGrants2009.com, is among the most respected in the business. Title I directors, grants administrators and policy experts across the country rely on them to consistently bring tough-minded analysis and easy-to-understand advice to the often murky world of federal education compliance.

Andrew Rotherham, co-founder of Education Sector and one-time education policy director for President Bill Clinton, said of Thompson's education reporters and editors: "They continue to turn in some of the most rigorous, well-sourced and interesting stuff on the inside game that actually drives a lot of the policymaking" at the U.S. Department of Education.

The $100 billion education stimulus package represents a historic opportunity for school leaders. President Barack Obama expects states, districts and schools to spend the money both quickly and thoughtfully in an environment where guidance changes almost every day.

To make the most of this moment, educators need a trusted source to help them make wise decisions in a timely fashion. That's where SchoolGrants2009.com comes in. Our respected reporters and editors are tracking the Obama stimulus package daily, providing up-to-the-minute news and analysis on all aspects of the grants process as it develops.
