W. Va. Doesn't Make Race To The Top
WEST VIRGINIA....
Although West Virginia failed in its attempts to secure federal funding in the first round of the "Race to the Top" competition, the state Department of Education says it's anxious to receive the evaluation of the state's plan. Governor Joe Manchin, state lawmakers and the education community will then work to improve the plan and resubmit for a second round of funding in early June. Manchin says he will call a special session this spring to propose education changes to make the state's plan more attractive.
