AMBRIDGE, Aug. 25 – Four grants totaling $192,596 will fund targeted efforts to bolster education for underperforming students in Beaver County schools, state Rep. Rob Matzie, D-Beaver/Allegheny, announced today.
Matzie said the Governor's Emergency Education Relief funding will allow educators to target support for students most at risk.
“Securing this funding is going to help level the playing field for students of historically underserved schools who might otherwise face the risk of falling behind,” Matzie said. “It’s an important investment under any circumstances, but it’s even more critical now – as the pandemic poses challenges to educators and stretches resources – to ensure all students keep pace.”
Matzie said the following funding was awarded:
The funding is part of a package of approximately $17 million to help 220 local education agencies including school districts, to improve educational services for approximately 180,000 students at schools designated for Additional Targeted Support and Improvement under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act.
