South Allegheny is among 764 Pennsylvania school districts that will be receiving a newly established grant aimed at making students more technologically advanced.
Building on his commitment to prepare students to use computers and technology in their careers, Gov. Tom Wolf on Thursday announced $8.7 million in targeted grants to expand computer science classes and teacher training.
The targeted grants represent the next phase of the governor’s new and innovative PAsmart initiative, which will provide $20 million to bring high-quality computer science and STEM education in elementary, middle and high schools, and professional development for teachers.
Targeted grant recipients include 221 school districts, two career and technical centers and 18 charter and cyber charter schools, and eight intermediate units, each of which will receive $35,000.
