standards were released for mathematics and english language arts on june 2, 2010, with a majority of states adopting the standards in the subsequent months. states were given an incentive to adopt the common core standards through the possibility of competitive federal race to the top grants. u.s. president barack obama and u.s. secretary of education arne duncan announced the race to the top competitive grants on july 24, 2009, as a motivator for education reform. to be eligible, states had to adopt "internationally benchmarked standards and assessments that prepare students for success in college and the work place." though states could adopt other college- and career-ready standards and still be eligible, they were awarded extra points in their race to the top applications if they adopted the common core standards by august 2, 2010. forty-one states made the promise in their application. virginia and texas were two states that chose to write their own college and career-ready standards, and were subsequently eligible for race to the top. development of the common core standards was funded by the governors and state schools chiefs, with additional support from the bill and melinda gates foundation, pearson publishing company, the charles stewart mott foundation, and others.
