The Raleigh Report
From the Office of Cullie Tarleton
August 30, 2010
I shared some information with you last week about North Carolina’s education budget, pointing out the areas where we made significant investments and those areas where we had to cut back to balance the state’s budget. North Carolina officials have learned that the state won up to $400 million through the federal Race to the Top program. North Carolina is one of just 11 states that have received grants through the competitive program so far. The money will be used to finance the Governor’s Career and College: Ready, Set, Go! program, with half of it going directly to the state’s 115 school systems. This is an exciting step forward for our state and I have more information about this new initiative below.
If you have any questions or if I can be of service to you, please contact me. I can be reached at culliet@ncleg.net or 828-295-3353. Thank you as always for your interest in North Carolina and state government.
Goals
The Ready, Set, Go! program has three main goals:
-
Increase the number of students who can read, write and do math at the end of 3rd grade
-
Increase the number of students who perform at or above grade level
-
Increase the number of students taking college credit courses while in high school; graduating from high school; going to college; and completing a degree from community colleges, colleges and universities.
