The committee will review strategies for improving student achievement at "chronically underperforming schools." In addition to looking at school turnaround methods, committee members will discuss issues surrounding "alternative governance of underperforming schools." ATPE Lobbyist Monty Exter will be testifying at the hearing. Tomorrow's meeting is in response to an interim charge issued by Lt. Gov.
