• A number of miscellaneous items are included: 
• The planned grant application and funding schedule for “Race to the Top.”
• A proposed list of eligible services and products under the E-Rate discount program for 2010 funding year.
• Submission of the 21st Century Skills Incentive Fund Act authorizing $100 million annually for grants to states implementing 21st Century Skill initiatives.
• A letter sent by Secretary Duncan to Chief State School officers encouraging them to in turn encourage districts to apply for Quality Zone Academy Bonding (QZAB) which has $2.8 billion in additional ARRA stimulus funding which can be used for among other things curriculum upgrades and replacement in eligible schools.
• Applications for grants under the $143 million Teacher Quality Partnership Program which reflects the types of training approaches and use of technology that the Administration will likely support in other grant competitions such as SIG and “Race to the Top.”
• Grant application for the next round of funding Striving Readers, slightly more than $7 million for new grants which reflect the types of activities the Administration will likely prescribe in Striving Reader and related literacy initiatives which are expected to increase 5-10 fold at the middle and high school level under the proposed FY 2010 Budget and a new literacy bill now in the Senate.
