WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. George Miller (D-CA), chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, today released the following statement after California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger requested a special session of the California legislature to ensure California will be eligible to receive ‘Race to the Top’ grants. The unprecedented $4.35 billion competitive grant program, included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, will incentivize states to make progress in key areas of education reform.
"This is an important step forward to push for real reform for every child in California and, if done correctly, to provide more transparency that will end the educational inequities and improve classrooms all across the state. It's time to ensure that all of California's students have access to the world-class education they need to grow, thrive and succeed.”
