After about a year of work, the state Department of Education has released plans that show how school districts intend to spend more than $18 million in federal Race to the Top grant money.
The plans outline the first year of funding to the state's 19 school districts. Extensive plans for some districts span more than 100 pages. While the three-year plans have been approved, the state has only approved the first year of spending, which will occur in the 2011-2012 school year.
In March 2010, Delaware was selected as one of two winners in round one of a new education grant program under President Barack Obama. The state secured a $119 million, four-year education reform grant.
