Schools to get $51.9 million in federal funds
Pennsylvania may have lost out on Race to the Top funds, but the state has just doled out another pot of stimulus funds through the School Improvement Grant Fund - to the tune of $51.9 million for some of Philadelphia's troubled schools.
The list of awards from the state totals $101 million, with the School District garnering just over half that, earmarked for 27 of its low-performing schools. For 11 of those schools, the grants exceed $2 million. Schools have three years to use the funds.
