EXCITING NEWS FOR ROLAND PUBLIC SCHOOLS!
Roland Public Schools is excited to share that we are among the organizations selected to receive a new 21st Century Community Learning Center grant through the Oklahoma State Department of Education!
The Oklahoma State Department of Education awarded more than $3.2 million in new grants to 13 organizations across the state. These five-year grants provide academic enrichment and learning opportunities for students in Pre-K through 12th grade, with a focus on high-poverty communities and schools needing targeted support.
Programs are offered before and after school, during the summer, and over holiday breaks, with more than 16,000 students served annually statewide.
Through 21st Century Community Learning Centers, students can receive additional support in reading, math, and tutoring, along with enrichment opportunities such as robotics, chess, debate, art, music, drama, science, college and career readiness, and health and fitness.
The program also provides literacy and educational services for families, helping strengthen the connection between home, school, and community.
We are excited about what this opportunity will mean for our students and families and look forward to sharing more information about Roland’s program!
