ATLANTA --- Georgia on Tuesday submitted an application for more than $400 million in federal grants under the U.S. Department of Education's "Race to the Top" competition.
The state narrowly missed out on the cash during the first round, losing to Tennessee and Delaware.
Georgia has added three school districts -- Dade, Peach and Pulaski -- to the 23 districts that applied during the first round. If selected, the state would receive the cash over four years.
The Race to the Top fund is a $4 billion grant opportunity made possible by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
It's designed to encourage innovative programs that will raise student achievement.
