"President Obama and Congress have entrusted us-you, me, and educators all across the country-with the largest one-time investment in education reform in history. My department has more money for education reform than all of my predecessors-combined. Former Secretary Paige told me that he had $17 million for reform. My department now has $5 billion for Race to the Top and Investing in Innovation. We have another $5 billion for school turnarounds, the Teacher Incentive Fund, school technology-all these programs can support the reforms in Race to the Top and Investing in Innovation. This truly is a moon shot." Arne Duncan, Secretary of Education, to the National Association of State Boards of Education, October 2009.
