Money: What To Make Of Pearson Giving To New Leaders?

Here's an interesting development reported in EdWeek's District Dossier:  the old guard (Pearson) is giving a chunk of change to the new guard (New Leaders).  Or, just as important:  the new kids (New Leaders) taking money from the older kids (Pearson).  It might be a first -- this intergenerational transfer.  And the benefits to both sides are pretty obvious.  But $3M for 45 principals isn't any bargain.  That's roughly $67,000 per candidate.
