The West Virginia Department of Education announced over the weekend
that it had selected a total of 41 schools across the
state which will soon be receiving their share of some $620,000 in
reading, math, and family literacy grants.
Locally, at least three counties will benefit from the grant. Wirt,
Calhoun and Gilmer will also see funds. Wirt
Primary Center will receive $10,000, Glenville Elementary will receive
$10,000, and Arnoldsburg and Pleasant
Hill will share $10,000, according to an announcement made by WVRC
Radio.
Statistics say that 78% of schools that have previously received and
used these grants for their intended purposes
have shown significant improvement in their SAT-9 scores.
