Glocester authorizes submission of Learn365 grant to fund K–8 math programs
Summary
The council authorized the town president to sign a Learn365/RIDE municipal learning project application to accept at least $40,000 to support after‑school math programming for K–8 students, with funds to be passed through to the regional school district.
The Glocester Town Council on March 6 authorized the council president to sign and submit an application for the Learn365/RIDE municipal learning project grant to support the Math Matters initiative. Memos presented by the town planner said the town has been offered at least $40,000; the Glocester Regional School District would be the program operator and the town must be the receiving entity for the funds.
Council members asked whether the $40,000 would fully cover program costs; the planner and presenters indicated the program would be scaled to match funding and that, at this time, the grant was not expected to exceed $40,000 in its current proposal. The motion to authorize submission passed by voice vote.
Why it matters: The grant would fund intensive out‑of‑school math programming for K–8 students run by the regional school district, with the town acting as the recipient of the funds.
Next steps: The town president will sign and submit the grant application to RIDE; if awarded, funds will be passed through to the Glocester Regional School District for program delivery.
