U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan says he’s happy with the way Rhode Island is using its $75 million Race to the Top Grant. The state has been working on several major initiatives including annual teacher evaluations and curriculum reviews.

Duncan says his staff will sit down with state education officials next week to review their progress.

• Mitt Romney details his plan for public education, which includes vouchers for parents who want to send their children to private schools.
• The Feds propose rules for a third round of Race to the Top grants.
