Governor, Commissioner sign and submit Race to the Top application, sending FEA a message to take a flying leap
Governor Crist signed Florida’s Race to the Top application this morning at an Orlando elementary school. By sending the application to Washington a few days early (the deadline isn’t until Tuesday, January 19), Crist and Commissioner Smith not only turn back the request of the Florida Education Association to delay submitting an application until round 2 of the RTTT competition this summer, but also send FEA President Andy Ford a message to take a flying leap.
The final application requests $1.1 billion, although the state has been told it almost certainly will not receive more than $700 million.
