Grants Expand Learning Opportunities In Aiken County
Grants from federal private sector and state sources will provide 9 742 895 dollars or 15 4 percent of funds budgeted for direct instructional purposes in Aiken County Public Schools this year. Competitive grants are awarded to successful applicants for one to three years to demonstrate effective programs. Sam Putnam, director of Grants Management, notes over 230 competitive grants with a combined value of 859 000 dollars. Formula grants support high priority needs and continue annually, including Title 1 IDEA and Half-Day Child Development. Programs target over 2 500 children with disabling conditions and about 7 000 with learning problems. Early prevention and intervention programs, especially pre kindergarten and first grade literacy, comprise most funding, with full day kindergarten aiding about 55 percent of four and five-year-olds. Computer assisted instruction, funded by the Education Improvement Act, has operated nine years. The district aims to offset learning deficits arising from various factors to improve community life and national well being.
