Gates/NSVF in Newark

Here's the summary of a recently announced $3,000,000 grant from the Gates Foundation:
to support the planning and implementation of a data system for Newark Public School District that will support accountability and include measures for data driven instruction, teacher evaluation and growth models
The NewSchools Venture Fund is the recipient of the grant.
Earlier articles mentioned both Gates and NSVF would be spending money in Newark in tandem with Zuck's Bucks, but the Gates summary is more specific than prior coverage.
