Sprinting to the Finish: Why New York lost Round 1 of the Race to the Top, and how it can win $700 million in Round 2

At http://nyccharterschools.org/storage/documents/Sprinting_to_the_Finish_-_NYC_Charter_School_Center.pdf is a very well done report by the NYC Charter School Center, Sprinting to the Finish: Why New York lost Round 1 of the Race to the Top, and how it can win $700 million in Round 2.  Even if you're not interested in NY, it is one of the best overall analyses of RTTT I've read.
