"We will receive more than $2,500,000 through the Ready to Learn Block Grant," the students said, adding that the money will support academic programs.
"This funding will strengthen academic support, expand intervention programs, and continue investing in the teachers and staff who support us every day," the students said in the statement. They also said the district would see "more than $700,000 invested into basic and special education."
