The Monroe County School Board in Tompkinsville, Kentucky, recently received a record-breaking grant of $969,331 to enhance technology and distance learning resources. This grant is the largest in the district’s history and will be used to purchase new laptops for students, touch panels for staff, and provide professional development opportunities for teachers.
The need for improved technology and resources became evident during the COVID-19 pandemic when remote learning became essential. The district quickly realized the need for upgrades to better support their students. While existing funds helped them acquire necessary materials, this new grant will allow for district-wide expansion of these opportunities.
The administration plans to have the new equipment delivered and fully operational by the spring semester, ensuring that students and staff have access to the latest technology and resources for an improved learning experience.
This grant signifies a significant investment in the future of education in Monroe County and demonstrates the district’s commitment to providing students with the best possible tools for success. The administration is excited about the opportunities this grant will bring and is dedicated to leveraging these resources to benefit the entire school community.
