HARRISBURG, Oct. 15 – The Pottstown School District will be granted over $350,000 in federal funding as part of Cohort 12 of the 21st Century Community Learning Center Grants, state Rep. Joe Ciresi announced today.
The funds, one in a series of 21st Century Community Learning Center grants administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE), would help establish and/or support community learning centers that provide academic, artistic and cultural enrichment opportunities for students and their families.
“This new funding will help ensure students in the Pottstown School District have access to a wide range of programs and services they need, providing academic, artistic and cultural enrichment opportunities for students that will help them succeed in school and in life,” Ciresi said.
The funded program must occur during non-school hours or periods when schools are not in session to help them meet state and local standards in core academic subjects. Centers must also offer students a broad array of activities that can complement their regular academic programs and literacy and other educational services to families.
Other 21st Century CCLC grant recipients in Cohort 12 that were announced earlier this year can be found here.
