Warren County accepts Math Innovation Grant to fund middle‑school math materials and professional development
Summary
The school board accepted a grant award from the Virginia Department of Education for middle‑school math professional development and instructional materials; the superintendent will request additional appropriation from the county.
The Warren County School Board on Feb. 18 accepted a Math Innovation Grant from the Virginia Department of Education and authorized the superintendent to request an additional appropriation from the Warren County Board of Supervisors.
Miss Greg announced the district had been awarded the full amount requested to support a middle‑school math initiative focused on student‑centered instruction. The funds are intended to pay a consultant to lead professional development for sixth‑ through eighth‑grade math teams and to purchase high‑quality middle‑school math instructional materials. Administrators said the district is in the process of vetting curricular materials and will involve parents in the adoption process.
The motion to accept the award was made, seconded and approved by the board.
Clarifying note: the grant amount appears in the transcript as "179,3460," which is likely a transcription or formatting error; administrators were explicit that the district’s full requested funding was awarded and that the superintendent will seek the appropriation from county supervisors.
