Panasonic Foundation Working With MCPS' "Innovation Schools," Washington Post Reports

From today's Washington Post, Monday September 30, 2013. Print Edition, page B4

Panasonic is not new to the Washington region. The foundation has led board retreats and planning sessions, including the work around the development of core values in Montgomery County Public Schools, according to Dana Tofig, a district spokesman. It is also working with 10 innovation schools in Montgomery, providing resources and support to help improve student achievement and narrow achievement gaps.

********
Just a few questions: is MCPS paying Panasonic Foundation for their resources and support? If so, how much? What exactly are the resources and support being provided? Is there a contact or a memorandum of understanding? Are Panasonic Foundation employees working in the schools? If so, are they undergoing background checks? Just wondering.
