Gates Foundation backs city school 'tough decision'

Gates Foundation backs city school 'tough decision': "A decision by Pittsburgh Public Schools to eliminate an in-house teacher academy is not likely to jeopardize a $40 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

'We understand that Pittsburgh Public Schools and the Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers had to make a tough decision about the teacher academy,' Christopher Williams, a foundation spokesman, said Thursday. 'We respect that, and we support them in having to do that.'"
