The Post Review (MN) (5/3) reports that Minnesota Sen. Al Franken (D), in a letter to Education Secretary Arne Duncan, called for "a level playing field for rural school districts in Minnesota and across the country competing for federal 'Race to the Top' district-level education grants." Franken wrote that ED should "provide technical assistance to rural districts that otherwise wouldn't have the personnel or resources to take on the complex federal grant process. He also pressed Duncan to permit several rural districts to join forces and apply for Race to the Top grants together."
