Awards $10,000 Grant to Special Education Department at CHS
The Livingston County Community Foundation has awarded a grant in the amount of $10,000 to the special education department of Chillicothe High School. The grant request was prepared by Kim Kieffer, special education teacher at CHS. The grant will partially fund a project titled “Technology for Special Education.” Approximately 125 special education students do not have the opportunity to take a computer class but are given projects which require technology. These funds will purchase 15 laptops to enable the school to offer more computer classes for special education students. The funds for this grant will come from the Noble Dean Smith Trust administered by the Foundation. This trust is donor-directed to be granted half for the Chillicothe High School and half for Hedrick Medical Center. |
