President Obama Seeks $1.35 Billion More for Education
Fox News article on President Obama visiting a Northern Virginia school today and officially announcing he’ll be asking Congress for $1.35 billion to extend an education grant program he introduced in his first year in office. Mr Obama alongside Education Secretary Arne Duncan, detailed his “Race to the Top” program, which was part of the original $787 billion economic stimulus program signed into law last year. “Race to the Top” encourages states and school districts to do better by amending education laws and polices, and compete for the grants. More money is good, but as yesterday’s post shows, there are problems with the program and results will stem from the implementation not the total dollar amount.
