Race to the TopThe American Recovery and Reinvestment Act

(Recovery Act) provides $4.35 billion for states.

Legislation has been enacted, but not yet fundedTeacher evaluations with student growthOther – Dropout age, Charter Schools

The money would be used to help to implement the initiatives already signed into law

Race to the TopThe goals for Race to the Top are clear:

States must join with other states in establishing common core standards and assessments and to benchmark standards our standards, for the first time, to international standards in this global economy;

Create a comprehensive data system that can track student progress from preschool to grad school and all the stops in between;

Take concrete steps to increase the number of great teachers and great leaders in our schools;

Put aside the excuses and find ways to fix our lowest-performing schools.

FUTUREIncrease academic integration opportunities

at CTC to assist with credit completion and recovery.

Upgrade facilities to meet the expanding needs at FEAC and to bring the CTC into the 21st Century.

Expand post-secondary opportunities, especially for our grade 13 and beyond students.

Continue advocacy for stable funding for schools.
