The Buchanan County public schools board approved an amendment to the All-In tutoring grant, which staff said is in its third and final year and limited to tutoring and attendance-related activities.
Administration explained the amendment focuses on continuing tutoring for students in kindergarten through eighth grade and expanding attendance strategies. "This is their third and final year for this grant and it's for tutoring and attendance... by getting the schools to help do home visits and more strategies for ways to remove our barriers in daily student attendance," administration said.
