Crown Point board approves $37,500 digital-learning grant application for district AI pilot and authorizes Title grants pre-application
Summary
The board approved applying for a $37,500 Indiana digital learning grant to continue use of the Magic School AI platform and authorized a 2026–27 federal Title grants pre-application that could lead to up to $900,000 in federal funds for Title I–IV programs.
The Crown Point Community School Corporation board on June 22 approved a $37,500 Indiana Department of Education digital learning grant application to continue district access to the Magic School AI platform and authorized the submission of federal Title grants pre-applications for 2026–27.
Administration said the $37,500 would support continued access to Magic School for teachers and students as the district builds educator and student AI literacy. Mrs. Smith named staff who assisted with the grant application and noted a video produced to explain the district’s AI work.
On federal funds, the board authorized a pre-application that allows the district to pursue Title I, II, III and IV grants when those cycles open; administration estimated the combined future awards could total roughly $900,000 to support at-risk and multilingual learners and to fund professional development and program needs.
The motions passed by board vote.
Context and next steps: Approval of the digital grant enables staff to finalize the application and, if awarded, to continue the Magic School platform rollout. The Title pre-application authorizes later formal grant submissions and alignment of federal resources with district goals.
