Atlanta — The U.S. Education Department says nine states, including Ohio, and the District of Columbia will receive money in the second round of the $4.35 billion “Race to the Top” school reform grant competition.
Department spokesman Justin Hamilton says the winners are: Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island and Washington, D.C.
The winners will share $3.4 billion. The amounts of the grants are expected to be announced later.
Tennessee and Delaware were named winners in the first round of the competition in March, sharing $600 million.
The aim of the historic program is to reward ambitious changes to improve schools and close the achievement gap.
