Illinois in race for education stimulus money
THE SOUTHERN STAFF
CHICAGO (AP) - Illinois is racing to get more federal stimulus money for education.
Gov. Pat Quinn says the state could get $400 million as part of the Obama administration's "Race to the Top" competitive education grant program.
The state will need to apply for the money and take other steps aimed at improving the state's education system.
One group expected to help is the P-20 Council. Quinn appointed 25 members to it this week.
The council, made up of lawmakers, educators, business leaders and other officials, will make recommendations to Quinn on educational improvements.
