August 01, 2008
Meridian CUSD #223 was recently notified that it is the recipient of a Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) technology grant. The focus of the grant is to integrate technology into curriculum, goals, school improvement plans, professional learning communities and the everyday activities of teachers and students. The grant activities are designed to improve student achievement in reading and mathematics in grades 1-8.
The project ensures that all students and teachers have increased access to technology by providing participating classrooms with 4 up-to-date computers/monitors (less than 5 yrs. old), a projector,printer/scanner, laptop, and digital camera. One Interactive White Board will be purchased per grade level (1-8), two wireless mobile labs (one for each elementary building), and educational software, along with training consultants, professional developer/coaches, and training materials.
The District is very excited about the impact the grant will have on the learning experiences of Meridian CUSD #223 students.
