NY Celebrates Race To The Top Win
(Albany, NY) -- New York State is celebrating its win in the federal "Race To The Top" education grant contest. Governor David Paterson was joined in Albany by U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan as well as other elected officials and education leaders instrumental in securing the 700-million dollars. Duncan says New York is now on the leading edge of reform and is in a position to lead by example for the rest of the nation. Duncan says New York's application was highlighted by numerous reform efforts including challenging low performing schools and thinking differently about teacher and principal evaluations by taking student performance into account. Governor Paterson says the win is a new chapter in the state's commitment to the schools. |
