TRSD due $1.6 million fed funds
From our weekly issue dated July 01, 2009
The Dept. of Education has awarded more than $93 million in Title I funding to Oregon schools as part of the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act, U.S. Sens. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) announced Monday, June 29.
Under the legislation, Three Rivers School District will receive approximately $1.6 million. Grants Pass School District 7 will receive $1.1 million.
Title I funding is used to provide at-risk and low-achieving students with the resources and opportunities needed to improve academic performance and meet state standards in core subjects.
“With Oregon facing a budget shortfall in state education funding, this aid arrives right when it is needed most,” Wyden said. “A solid education is the foundation of a skilled workforce, which is exactly what Oregon will need to improve its economy and continue to compete in the global marketplace.”
