Superintendents describe writing grants between recess duty, substitute teaching, and even snow removal. Michigan offers more than 100 grants worth about $7 billion, and the paperwork can take days.

Current and former state education leaders also criticize the system that picks winners and losers. Some education officials urge funding formulas instead of competitions.
