Earlier this year, forty states and the District of Columbia submitted applications to receive federal assistance for education through the Race to the Top competition. And now, sixteen finalists have been selected by a panel of outside experts.
All four of our Education Voters affiliate states made the finals!
Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio made the cut because of their ongoing commitment to reforming public education, and because dedicated activists have consistently helped to make sure that education is a priority and demanded that our leaders develop forward-looking plans at the state and national levels to ensure every child a quality education.
The Race to the Top is just the beginning. These states were selected not just because of the great strides that they’ve already made, but because they are committed to planning for and providing a better future for our kids. We need to be sure our leaders follow through on their promises.
Each state’s representatives will be in Washington later this month to make a last push for the Race to the Top grant. Education Voters will continue to stay involved, keep you informed, and be a champion for both the policies and the resources we need to get results.
