Riverside does not buy into federal education reform plan | Inland News | PE.com | Southern California News | News for Inland Southern California:

"Saying they don't have clear information and too little time before the deadline, Riverside school officials Friday declined to sign up for Race To The Top, the federal effort to reform education.

'It appears there's a lack of information on Race To The Top,' said Riverside Unified School District Superintendent Rick Miller.

He said that among his network of superintendents of school districts in Southern and Northern California, none were participating. Among large districts, Deputy Superintendent Mike Fine said only Long Beach planned to participate."
