US Education Secretary Rod Paige today
announced that Little Rock will receive a
One-point-three-million-dollar grant to give its low-income
students better access to advanced courses.
The No Child Left Behind Act created incentives for Advanced
Placement courses. It is based on the theory that students are more
likely to attend college and pursue advanced degrees if they take
advanced courses in middle school and high school.
