North Carolina is one of only 12 recipients of the federal Race to the Top (RttT) grants, bringing nearly $400 million to the state's public school system for use over the next four years.   Receipt of this grant, designed to spur public school innovation, is a key component of North Carolina's work to continue its momentum for school improvement.

 

Out of the $400 million allocated, approximately  $3,112,024 will be provided to Nash-Rocky Mount Public Schools over the next 4 years. 

 

 

 

 

The RttT funds must be spent in direct support of North Carolina's plan and its four main “pillars” of work:

 

1.  Great Teachers and Principals

2.  Quality Standards and Assessments

3.  Turnaround of Lowest‐Achieving Schools

4.  Data System to Improve Instruction.
