The Monroe County School Board in Tompkinsville, Kentucky has recently received a record-breaking grant of $969,331, the largest in the district’s history. The grant, aimed at improving technology and distance learning resources, will fund new laptops for students, touch panels for staff, and professional development opportunities for teachers. The grant comes as a response to the challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic when remote learning became necessary, highlighting the need for updated technology and resources in the district.
The administration expressed their gratitude for the grant, emphasizing that it will allow them to expand opportunities for students and staff district-wide. While current funds have helped them acquire necessary materials for remote learning, this grant will further enhance technology and resources in the district. The equipment is expected to be delivered and fully operational by the upcoming spring semester.
The grant signals a significant investment in the future of education in Monroe County, providing students and staff with the tools needed to succeed in a rapidly evolving digital landscape.
