Tributes to CSF’s co-founder Ted Forstmann have been pouring in today. redefinED has a touching piece by John Kirtley, Chairman of Florida’s Step Up for Students, about his experience working with Ted and CSF to form a CSF partner program in Tampa Bay – and how CSF was the “spark” for tax credit and voucher programs in many states.

Just below Mr. Kirtley’s piece, you can also find a post by CSF President Darla Romfo on CSF and the promising students we support.
