PROMISED BUT NOT YET ONLINE: VA, CT


I received the following from Jonathan Burman at the New York State Education Department in response to a query concerning the state's intention to post its RT3 application at this time:
"New York's application for Race to the Top funding will be made public
after the first phase of the competition is over.
"The US Department of Education has said that it plans to post all state
applications and final scores on its website at the conclusion of each
phase of the Race to the Top competition. Because RTTT grants will be
awarded in a two-phase process, a state that does not win a Phase 1
grant is entitled to reapply in Phase 2. If New York does not win a
Phase 1 award, we will in all likelihood apply in Phase 2. Therefore,
the release of New York's application at this time could compromise the
State's ability to compete in the next round."
