November 9, 2010: Jon Schnur chosen as one of Top Seven Educators in USA by Forbes Magazine/ Davis Guggenheim, producer of . http://bit.ly/c7Bh3D
Jon Schnur, CEO, New Leaders for New Schools

If Klein is Obi Wan, then Schnur is Yoda, quiet and content behind the scenes. Jon is the deep thinker, the poet in the insurgency. As Obama's first educational advisor before he was president, Jon conjured the idea for Race to the Top. At the Harvard School of Education, he and Johnston dreamed up New Leaders for New Schools, which trains effective principals, the much needed field generals who execute on the front lines. It's not the sexiest piece of reform, but next to quality teachers, it's the most critical.

Other Funding Targets

How does the Alumni Association decide its priorities, and where does the money go?

Fundraising: Though fundraising is secondary to its mission of support for alumni of the school, according to its 501(c)(3) charter, the Shorewood High School Alumni Association raises money for one purpose - to support the Shorewood Schools.

The priorities of the Alumni Association have previously not been set, as this 2010 is the first year of having raised money on behalf of the school.

At the beginning of the Alumni Association's fiscal year, July 1, all Alumni will be offered the opportunity to vote on their priorities for the direction of those funds. Following the success of the impromptu Costumer Fund support, it has become clear that financial priorities for the Alumni Association need to be set by its members, which is defined by anyone who graduated from Shorewood High School.
