Brown County Schools win $500,000 grant to expand early education center
Summary
District staff announced a $500,000 grant to expand the early education center to serve eight infants and toddlers and said the application emphasized a high-school student program the district hopes to develop into an apprenticeship.
Debbie announced that the district was awarded a $500,000 grant to expand its early education center to serve eight infants and young toddlers. "Last May, we applied for a half million dollar grant to be able to expand the early education center," Debbie said, and confirmed the district was awarded the funds.
Debbie told the board the county has a strong need for early care and education for infants and toddlers and that a strength of the application was the district's program involving high school students; the district intends to pursue an apprenticeship model for students who meet requirements. Debbie said the application had been competitive and credited staff for the work on the proposal.
The grant will be used to transform the facility to serve infants and young toddlers; the transcript states the expansion will support "8 babies and young toddlers." The board expressed congratulations for the award. The transcript does not specify grant terms, the funding source agency name, or a project timeline beyond the announcement.
