For a number of years, the U.S. Department of Education’s “Race to the Top — Early Learning Challenge (RTT-ELC)” grant competition infused millions of dollars into States across the country. You can read about RTT-ELC below:

The grant competition funded initiatives designed to:
increase the number of low-income children in high-quality programs
design and implement an integrated state system
ensure that assessments are appropriate
Many States applied for (and received) grant funds through this opportunity. However, eventually these short-term funds will dry up. At that time, the States will need to put their own money into sustaining these recently funded programs or they will cease to exist.
In your opinion, what are the advantages and disadvantages of this type of short-term funding? How does it influence the work states do? How does it impact children and families?
