Just how much will Race to the Top get your child?

Inspired by a posting on the Parents United for Responsible Education (out of Chicago), I did a little math:

Assuming that Massachusetts is awarded Race to the Top funds, and assuming that Massachusetts gets as much money as it possibly can, $200 million, how much would the education of each of the 980, 459 public school children in Massachusetts get?


$204

(higher in some communities, lower in some, depending on Title 1 status)

UPDATE: It's been called to my attention that this supposes that the state doesn't keep any money for "administration." They're allowed to keep up to half, in which case we're looking at more like $102.
