A private-public partnership, NMSI is bankrolled largely by Exxon. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation are contributors.
Well, let's hope for many more millions dangled in front of groups that won't budge and change archaic and extortionist practices. The problem with private funds is that it's a lot harder to bribe your way to the vault.

The lesson here for NMSI is that they should revisit their decision to even try to work through a public school system that is held hostage by CBAs.
