"Race
to the Top (RTTT) is a unique opportunity for
the State of Tennessee to seriously be in the
running for $501 million academic grant dollars.
These funds are available for education through
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA). In April, winning states will
be awarded monies to improve education in four
areas: building and expanding the system of
student assessment already in place; preparing
students for college and the work force;
recruiting, keeping and rewarding productive
teachers and principals; and providing effective
intervention and intensive support for the lowest
performing schools."
