Atlanta — The U.S. Education Department says nine states, including Ohio, and the District of Columbia will receive money in the second round of the $4.35 billion “Race to the Top” school reform grant competition.

Hudson Schools are set to receive $100,000.
Department spokesman Justin Hamilton says the winners are: Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maryland, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Rhode Island and Washington, D.C.
 The winners will share $3.4 billion.  Ohio will receive $400 million in Race to the Top funds during the next four years, according to a release today from Gov. Ted Strickland's office.
Tennessee and Delaware were named winners in the first round of the competition in March, sharing $600 million.
The aim of the historic program is to reward ambitious changes to improve schools and close the achievement gap.

Please note that the Ohio application, agreed to be the Hudson School District, requires that the District evaluate the performance of teachers and principals.
