[From Recovery.pa.gov] Harrisburg – Education Secretary Gerald L. Zahorchak and a team of state and local education leaders will discuss Pennsylvania’s vision for education reformduring a March 17 meeting with federal officials regarding the state’s Race to the Top grant application.
“We are looking forward to making our case for why Pennsylvania has become a national leader in education reform and why it should be among the few states that continues to lead the way through Race to the Top initiatives,” Zahorchak said, noting that Pennsylvania is eligible for up to $400 million in federal funds for its education reforms.
Pennsylvania was recently named among the 16 finalists for a Race to the Top grant. A team of representatives for each of those finalists – 15 states and the District of Columbia – will have private meetings with federal education leaders this month to discuss their respective grant applications.
