At the September 16 Joint Education Committee hearing State Senator Scott Rupp questioned Dr. Chris Nicastro on Missouri's progress in applying for the $4.35 billion Race to the Top program. This federal competitive grant program will be awarded to states passing education reforms that are proven to work.
Dr. Nicastro surprised the committee by stating that Missouri would not be applying for the first half of the program. She also stated that our application would only be 'moderately competitive" once applying for the second half, but did not see any legislative changes that were needed.
