The money will be used to help the states as they begin to implement the Common Core State Standards, benchmarks for grades K-12 that are part of an effort to ensure a uniform public education across the U.S. Kentucky will use its three-year, $8.8 million grant in 12 school districts, including Daviess, Fleming, Gallatin, Jessamine, Lee, Owen and Washington. These districts will then serve as models for the rest of the state.
