Most of the states with one of the four newiwsh reform organizations (DFER, Stand, 50CAN, StudentsFirst ) operating have just one or at most two of them, according to lists supplied by the organizations. [Of course there are tons of state education advocacy organizations, reformy PIE types and otherwise but let's pretend they aren't there just like the new guys are doing.] Only NY has three. Here's the full list of which states have which organization(s): AZ Stand /CA DFER / CO Stand, DFER / CT 50CAN / FL DFER, SF / IL Stand / GA SF / IN DFER, SF / ME SF / MA Stand / MI DFER, SF / MD 50CAN / MN 50CAN, SF / NJ DFER, SF / NV SF / NY DFER, 50CAN, SF / OH DFER, SF / OR Stand / RI DFER, 50CAN / TN Stand, SF / TX Stand / WA Stand, DFER / WI DFER. At some point soon, I'm sure SF and Stand will be in CA -- that's where the money is (and where Rhee is relocating). But if SF comes to OR (or Stand comes to IN) there will be war. [*UPDATE: Stand is already in IN and everyone says they're all on the same team.]
