DC and Maryland both “Race to the Top” for Education Funds
WaPo reports that both DC and Maryland have won sought-after education grants:
Maryland’s award is worth up to $250 million and the District’s up to $75 million.
The timing of these wins is significant for two candidates:
The awards come as D.C. Mayor Adrian M. Fenty and Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, both Democrats, are seeking reelection.
The grant money comes from the economic stimulus and was awarded to eight other states that made it to a second-round of funding.
