The Secretary of Education announced today that Tennessee and Deleware are the only two states to win the first round of Race to the Top Grants. Delaware received approximately $100 million; Tennessee gets approximately $500 million. The remainder of the Race to the Top funds will be distributed in later rounds, with the deadline for the next round of applications being June 1.
This substantial influx of funds will help Tennessee implement a series of reforms designed to turn around struggling school systems and make better use of student assessment data.
