WDE awards HSCSD learning center grant

The Wyoming Department of Education recently released a list of the recipients of the Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Center Cohort 13 grants and Hot Springs County School District made the cut.

With $2.05 million to distribute, the department of education gave $220,149 to the district, one of the top four districts as far as amount of money received.

The program is authorized under Title IV, Part B, of the Every Student Succeeds Act and recipients must serve students and families from low-performing, high needs schools with before or after school programs as well as summer learning programs.

The grants are awarded for up to five years, with continued funding dependent on performance and federal funding allocations.
