Nelson County Schools accept two $40,000 math grants for 6–12 campuses
Summary
The Board accepted two one-year math grants—each for $40,000—to support math professional development and high-quality instructional materials at OKH and Bloomfield Middle.
The Nelson County Board of Education accepted two one-year math grants on April 21 that will fund math professional development and additional high-quality instructional materials for the district’s 6–12 campuses.
Dr. Shearhorn told the Board the awards each total $40,000 and are targeted at supporting math instruction at OKH (the 6–12 campus referenced as OKH) and Bloomfield Middle. The grants will focus on math professional development and acquiring high-quality instructional resources across tiered supports, the presentation said.
Board action: A board member moved to accept the grants, another seconded, and the Board approved acceptance by voice vote.
Implications: District staff said the grants are intended to supplement classroom supports and teacher development rather than replace local funding; specifics on vendor selection or curriculum changes were not provided in the transcript and remain to be determined by district staff and schools.
Next steps: Staff will administer the one-year grants and return as needed with implementation details or budget adjustments tied to grant use.
