All three of Tacoma’s SIG [School Improvement Grant] schools [Stewart, Giaudrone and Jason Lee], along with First Creek Middle School and Roosevelt Elementary School, are listed on this year’s state list of low performers, based on test scores. (Whole Story Here.)

Why keep pouring money into programs that have shown they don't solve the problem?
Ok...that was two questions.
