On August 10, 2012 the U.S. Department of Education published final requirements, priorities, selection criteria, and definitions for a new Race to the Top District competition (“RTT-D”).The central objective of the program is to support the development of innovative, personalized teaching and learning models to promote college and career ready outcomes for all students. Under the Department’s proposed competition, school districts and consortia of school districts would be eligible to apply for a share of approximately $400 million to advance new student-centered models of learning, teaching, infrastructure, and performance management. Grant sizes will vary from $15M to $25 million depending on the number of students served.
