About the Road Map Region Race to the Top Grant
In 2012, seven King County, Washington, school districts joined forces and won $40 million in federal Race to the Top funds. The participating school districts are Auburn, Federal Way, Highline, Kent, Renton, Seattle and Tukwila. The districts dubbed themselves The Road Map District Consortium, a reference to their participation in the Road Map Project, a community-wide effort in South Seattle and South King County to drive major educational improvement with a focus on personalized learning.
Dear ,
We are pleased to share that Race to the Top is moving forward! The Deep Dive 3 Investment Fund RFP (to develop additional community-school partnerships) was recently released, as was the RFP for Project 4 (Digital STEM Tools). We look forward to working with interested districts and organizations on these projects, and to the positive impacts that should result!

RFP for $1 Million in Community-School Partnerships Released
|
The Deep Dive 3 RFP (investment fund to develop additional community-school partnerships) was released on Monday November 4, 2013.
The Deep Dive 3 project creates an investment fund that aims to allow districts and community partners to create intensive, site-based school and community partnerships to turn around academic performance in high-need schools. The implementation of these partnerships is intended to be scaled across the region, focus on students in the opportunity gap, and support family engagement, students who are English Language Learners, and students who receive special education services.
There will be plenty of opportunities to learn more about this grant. Information Session and Learning Session dates for the Deep Dive 3 RFP include the following:
Information Sessions
November 20, 2013 (9:00-11:00am at PSESD)
