Schwarzenegger's plan would reshape education in California -- latimes.com:
"Schwarzenegger's reforms include:
* Adopting a merit pay system that would reward effective teachers and give them incentives to work at low-performing campuses;
* Abolishing the current cap on the number of charter schools that can open every year;
* Forcing school districts to shut down or reconstitute the lowest-performing schools or turn them over to charter schools' independent management;
* Allowing students at low-performing campuses to transfer to a school of their choosing;
* Requiring school districts to consider student test data when evaluating teachers, something the federal government believes is prohibited under state law."
