In fact, the Commissioner of Education mentioned Lemon Gtrove in his state of the state of education on February 7th. Check this link for the text: http://www.californiaprogressreport.com/2007/02/state_of_educat.html
The Commissioner says that the date are preliminary, but closing the digital divide appears to have closed the achievement gap for low income students! That rocks!
