At the center of Koret’s education strategy is the Koret Task Force on K–12 Education. This blue‐ribbon panel of education policy experts convened by the Hoover Institution at Stanford University comes together several times a year to evaluate and analyze public education policy and to identify tactics for improving our public schools.

The Task Force’s analysis and recommendations make national news, arming policymakers with the research they need to advance the quality and productivity of K–12 education. Their views on education policy have been sought by the state legislatures of Texas, Florida, and Arkansas.

Through the Task Force, Koret funds research, evaluation, and analysis of public policy in an analytical context to identify policies that can effectively enhance the quality of K–12 education. In recognition of their accomplishments, the Task Force received the Koret Prize in April 2002.
