Colorado wins nearly $30M in federal school funds
The grant funding announced is part of “Race to the Top” money
aimed at early childhood education programs. Colorado and four
other states are getting the funding because they were finalists
in last year’s competition.
“Colorado is committed to helping ensure every child is ready for
kindergarten and reading by the third grade,” Hickenlooper said.
Illinois, New Mexico, Oregon and Wisconsin are also receiving funds.
