Abstract | Grant recipients risk losing millions of dollars in Race to the Top money if they fail to live up to their promises, federal education officials make clear. By threatening to revoke Hawaii's $75 million Race to the Top award for failing to make "adequate progress" on key milestones of its education reform plan, U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan is putting other grant winners on notice that they must live up to their grant promises or risk losing millions of dollars in federal money. The restrictions on Hawaii's grant money for "unsatisfactory performance" amount to a warning shot as the U.S. Department of Education seeks to hold 11 states and the District of Columbia accountable while allowing them some wiggle room in making dramatic education changes over the four-year grant period. As early as this week, the department is expected to issue formal progress reports that will detail just what has--and has not--been accomplished by each winner in the $4 billion Race to the Top competition, President Obama's signature education initiative.
