Welcome!
On Thursday March 4, 2010, The United States Department of Education released the list of finalists for the federal Race to the Top program. The finalists are: Colorado, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina and Tennessee. If your school or district operates in one of these states and has singed a memorandum of understanding to participate in Race to the Top, please contact our office immediately, and we will be able to prepare you for the responsibilities and requirements you will need to fulfill before and after receiving funds, should your state win in April’s decision. For more details on Race to the Top in your state, search our blog for the latest news.
