Redford Union awarded $521,000 summer discovery grant for elementary and junior high programs
Summary
Superintendent Jason Witt announced the district will receive a $521,000 Summer Discovery grant (United Way and Balmer Group partners) to support summer school costs for elementary through junior high students.
Superintendent Jason Witt told the board that Redford Union Schools is a recipient of a Summer Discovery grant in the amount of $521,000 to support summer programming from elementary through junior high.
Witt said the grant was administered through partners including the United Way and the Balmer Group, and that the award will offset summer school costs across the district’s elementary buildings through the junior high. He described the grant review process as intensive and congratulated staff who prepared the application.
Why this matters: the funds will be used for summer school costs at the district’s elementary and junior high levels, expanding programming capacity for students during the summer months.
Next steps: district staff will implement the funded summer programs and report on program details and timelines to the board in coming months.
