Last Tuesday, the state of Georgia hand delivered an application for a piece of the $4 billion dollars worth of federal educational aid for the public schools in the state.
The initiative known as Race to the Top is a competitive grant that will give incentives to states that are likely to raise test scores, improve teacher quality and allow for innovation. Georgia hopes to be awarded $400 million dollars in grant money even though the application was slated for $460 million.
