Washington (CNN) -- Eighteen states

Duncan, speaking at the National

underperforming schools, to name

The finalists chosen were: Arizona,
California, Colorado, the District

Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey,
New York, North Carolina, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and
South Carolina.
"As I have said many times before,
this isn't just about the money --
this is about working together and
putting the needs of children ahead
of everyone else," Duncan said in his
remarks. "This entire process has
moved the nation and advanced education
reform."
Race to the Top is an Obama
administration program that is funded
under the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act to reward states for
aggressively reforming their education
systems. The $4.35 billion is
awarded in two phases.
