The Race to the Top program is a $4.35 billion fund created under the economic stimulus package (ARRA). It's a competitive grant program where states compete for federal funds by implementing education reforms. Most of the money has yet to be awarded. Many states competing for funds have initiated reforms linking student performance o teacher evaluations and expanding charter schools. In his budget request for fiscal 2011, President Obama asked for a $1.35 billion expansion of the program.
