Laurel School District earns $200,000 grant
SUMMARY: A national grant is helping Laurel School District enhance its literacy program for elementary students. The grant, called the BSCA grant, aims to improve grade-level reading and support community partnerships. The school district received a $200,000 grant to cover salaries of social workers assisting students with mental health. The grant also focuses on executive functioning, decision-making, and critical thinking tools for students. The district formed an advisory council to apply for the grant and launched a campaign for grade-level reading. More funds for the campaign are expected in mid-January, and the advisory council is seeking more members for information. Contact E-P-D at 601-477-9252 for details.
