Recently Tennessee and Delaware
were awarded funds from the federal "Race to the Top" education
grant. Vermont will be
applying for the second round of "Race to the Top" funds later in the
summer. But Vermont will need to
compete and demonstrate how it's dealing with schools that are labeled as low
achieving. VPR's Jane Lindholm talks with Vermont Deputy Commissioner of
Education Rae Ann Knopf and Ken Page, executive director the Vermont
Principals' Association, about this competitive grant program and Vermont's
efforts to improve schools.
