Quincy Junior High Awarded 21st Century Community Learning Centers Grant
Superintendent Lemon announced that the District has been awarded a three-year 21st Century Community Learning Centers Grant for QJHS totaling approximately $450,000. He commended Assistant Superintendent Trish Viniard for her efforts and expertise in securing this competitive grant.
Mrs. Viniard said the purpose of the grant is to increase student achievement by providing before- and after-school support and summer school for students who are struggling and in danger of academic failure. Parent/family support and engagement is also an important component of the 21st CCLC Program. The community partners that will provide services and resources include Teen Reach/Two Rivers, YMCA, Cornerstone, and Quincy Medical Group. Several positions to be funded by the grant are in the process of being posted.
