New York Finalist in Race
July 27th, 2010

New York State is one of 18 finalists in the quest to win up to $700 million in Race to the Top Federal education funding.

Don’t get your hopes up though–New York was a finalist in the first round and lost out on the funding. The legislature did react to that loss by passing legislation designed to up the state’s chances. They raised the limit on charter schools and allowed test scores to be factored in to teacher evaluations.

New York’s competition includes: Arizona, California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and South Carolina.
