Illinois Selected as One of the 16 Race to the Top Finalists

Share

March 5, 2010

Today, the U.S. Department of Education announced that the following 16 finalists will advance in Phase 1 of the Race to the Top Grant Competition.

Colorado
Delaware
District of Columbia
Florida

Georgia
Illinois
Kentucky
Louisiana

Massachusetts
New York
North Carolina
Ohio

 Pennsylvania

Rhode Island
South Carolina
Tennessee

The finalists were selected from among the 41 applicants for Phase 1 of the competition, and earned the highest scores from the peer reviewers. The finalists (for Illinois, the Illinois State Board of Education) will present their proposals to the panels that reviewed their application in Washington, DC in mid-March. Following the presentations, the panel will meet again to review and score the finalists’ applications, and will submit the scores to Secretary Duncan for his final selection. The Department anticipates selecting “very few winners in Phase 1,” with the number of winners being determined by the “strength of their applications.”

 
The Department will announce the winners in April, and applicants not selected will be eligible to reapply by June 1 for Phase 2.
