If Race to the Top does nothing more for my family, it has taught my three-year-old a new dialect -- RttT, Mou, Governor's Zone, Mayoral Control, Collaboration, Rigor, Turnaround Schools..." He peels off acronyms and buzzwords like a pro.
He's barely in preschool six hours a week and USDOE has usurped his academic innocence. Thanks a lot.
And with two weeks 'til State Apps are due, thanks for finally issuing a "Guidance" Document that may actually help the "local control" understand the magnitude of their decisions. Perhaps, your answers to the burning questions in many school board members' minds might be deemed "collaboration?"
Let me ask my three-year-old and get back to you.

Alternatively, a State may add a late-joining LEA as an involved LEA instead of as a participating LEA. If a State wishes to do this, it may include in its budget funding for the activities of involved LEAs. Adding LEAs in this manner would not require approval from the Department, since States are not required to submit information on their involved LEAs as part of their application, nor would the State need to recalculate its section 14006(c) subgrant allocations to participating LEAs. Note, however, that the involved LEA’s progress in implementing the State’s Race to the Top plans would not count towards the State’s performance targets that are defined in terms of participating LEAs.
To be clear, States do not have to allow LEAs to join after the State has been awarded a Race to the Top grant - that decision is up to the State.
Would DEDOE hold money back from children after the fact?
DEDOE must teach those of you who push back against THE plan a lesson. Remember, most of this stuff is going to be pushed by Markell and DEDOE anyway. It's been a plan in development LONG coming. Eli Broad has been pushing for this for over a decade.
