News » Wisconsin not a finalist for 'Race to the Top'
Mar. 4, 2010
Wisconsin is not one of the 15 states that are finalists for more than $4.5 billion in federal education funding.
The state was asking for $254 million from the "Race to the Top" program. Appleton school superintendent Lee Allinger says the district was hoping to receive $1 million. He says they planned to use the money for teacher training and development.
Today's announcement was for the first round of "Race to the Top" funding. The state can apply in June for a second round of grants.
Governor Doyle blames the Legislature for failing to give Milwaukee's mayor control of the city's school district. He says it weakened Wisconsin's application. |
