DENVER—Colorado public schools may be in line for some funding to turn around low-performing schools.
The U.S. Department of Education says Colorado has been awarded $6 million for the program.
The Denver Post says districts must apply for a share of the School Improvement Grant money, which will be distributed by the state.
Nationwide, the program is distributing $546 million.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan says schools that perform in the bottom 5 percent of the state and have graduation rates below 60 percent need extra help.
