The State Department of Education has put together an Internet site with detailed information about the Race to the Top Program in Tennessee. I particularly recommend that county commissioners use the link on the site to download the approved Scope of Work that was proposed by your school system. These documents provide a detailed plan as to how your school system intends to use their portion of the federal grant to improve schools in your communities over the next four years.
You can find these resources by going to this website Race to the Top and then selecting your LEA (local education agency) from the drop down menu. There is a signature page within these scopes of work. If your school system is planning to use these funds in a manner that will create on-going obligations after the federal grant has expired, the chair of the funding body (county commission or city council) should have been required to sign off on the scope of work as well.
