Sacramento Bee: Sacramento is a finalist for Teach for America, a program that sends highly motivated college graduates into troubled schools.
As a community, Sacramento would have to raise $2.7 million within the next month to become one of three cities to which the program will expand next year. The Morgan Family Foundation has already pledged $600,000 over the next three years.
A decision will be made in late April or early May, and Teach for America teachers could be in local schools by the fall.
