State misses out on federal education grant

Mississippi is not in the running for a share of $3 billion in federal education reform grants.

The “Race to the Top” competition rewards ambitious reforms aimed at improving struggling schools and closing the achievement gap.

The finalists named in the second round of the competition are: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and South Carolina.

Mississippi enacted a charter school law this year that some officials had hoped would give the state an edge in the grant competition.
