We now announce additional topics for consideration for action by that committee. We also announce three public hearings at which interested parties may comment on the new topics suggested by the Department and may suggest additional topics for consideration for action by the negotiated rulemaking committee.

Proposed Priorities, Requirements, Definitions, and Selection Criteria-Race to the Top-District [CFDA Number: 84.416.]
Document Number: 2013-08847
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2013-04-16
Agency: Department of Education
The Secretary proposes priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria under the Race to the TopDistrict program. The Secretary may use one or more of these priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria for competitions using funds from fiscal year (FY) 2013 and later years. The Race to the TopDistrict program builds on the experience of States and districts in implementing reforms in the four core educational assurance areas through Race to the Top and other key programs and supports applicants that demonstrate how they can personalize education for all students in their schools. The U.S. Department of Education (Department) conducted one competition under the Race to the TopDistrict program in FY 2012, and we propose to maintain the overall purpose and structure of the FY 2012 Race to the TopDistrict competition. These proposed priorities, requirements, definitions, and selection criteria are almost identical to the ones we used in the FY 2012 competition. We describe the changes at the beginning of each section of this document.
