We already started combing through the applications of the finalists. We will begin preparing for the second round. We’re already working on some of the initial legislation we knew we would need. -- Kathy Taylor

The grants are designed to reward states that have adopted and will continue implementing innovative reforms to improve student performance. The money is part of President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus law, which provided an unprecedented $100 billion for schools. Much of that has gone toward preventing teacher layoffs and addressing budget concerns.
