The Governor’s Office of Student Achievement has just selected Drew Charter School as a recipient of its “Fiscal Year 2016 Innovation Fund Grant Award.” The school will receive a $700,000 implementation grant for a project that aims to eliminate summer learning loss, increase teachers’ content knowledge, support more rigorous and creative project-based learning and accelerate students’ skill development.
The Atlanta Public School District also received a $700,000 grant award from the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement. As part of the grant, the school system will partner with Westside Atlanta Charter and Atlanta Speech School’s Rollins Center for Language and Literacy. APS, Westside Atlanta Charter and the Rollins Center for Language and Literacy plan to provide an intense program focused on language and literacy to eight elementary schools in APS’ Douglass High School Cluster.
