Yvette Jones, chair of the Education Foundation of Putnam County, and Kathleen Holznick, the foundation’s executive director, presented an FPL Empowering STEM grant to the Putnam County School Board on Nov. 4.

Holznick described the foundation’s focus on STEM and career-technical education and said the program’s work reaches early grades and can support broader academic goals, including improvements in third-grade reading. Jones and Holznick told the board that the usual annual award is $10,000 but that this year the grant award was $7,183.04 because the funder had less available.
