The state math proficiency and math proficiency growth rate data excerpts for THE U.S. STATE and City GOVERNMENTS relevant for the USL 0.25, 0.5 and 1.0 (version 1)

USL 0.5 is designed to boost the city or state average school math levels to advance about 1 year although it normally takes 8-25 years for the U.S. states and the average will take about 16 years (according to NAEP). USL 1.0 is designed to boost the national average school math levels to advance about 2 years although it normally takes minimum 15-50 years for the U.S. states and the average will take at least 30 years even if they are very lucky; chances are about 40 years as the progress normally slows down significantly even for the fastest growing states or countries for boosting the school math average. This short paper is designed to provide some of the key information as to why the various states and major cities should consider the USL 0.25 or 0.5 pilot studies in 2015 as early as possible as the costs will be minimal compared to the colossal gains that the city or the state governments will gain over the rest of this century. As the USL reforms for the states will last 1-3 years or so, our projections will be 1.3-1.7x larger than Hanushek-Woessmann projections. 1) USL 0.25 will boost the state school math averages by half a year and its Real GDP contribution for the states are expected to be 4x-5x than now by USL 0.5 2) USL 0.5 will boost the Real GDP contribution for the states at least 10x larger than now (most likely about 13-16x larger). 3) USL 1.0 will boost the Real GDP contribution for the states at least 20-25x larger than now (most likely about 25-30x larger). We included the key data on the U.S. state math proficiency charts, statewide school math annual growth rates.
