Delaware and Tennessee were the only two states awarded some of the Department of Education's Race to the Top Funds. According to the New York Times article "U.S. Names Education Grant Winners" Delaware will be awarded approximately $100 million and Tennessee about $500 million. One prominent feature of Delaware’s proposal was a new state law that allows teachers rated as “ineffective” for three years to be removed from the classroom, regardless of whether they have tenure or not.
