Christian County Public Schools will spend nearly a million dollars on reading and writing through the Kentucky Comprehensive Literacy professional learning grant.
District officials say they will use the funds to develop and implement a comprehensive and integrated literacy plan that includes collaborative relationships and outreach with internal and external partners such as early childhood providers and community partners.
Superintendent Chris Benzel says “We have seen growth in our teachers and students through the original literacy grant and look forward to being able to deepen our work with these providers. The ability to be consistent and supportive in continuing professional learning for comprehensive literacy is a tremendous opportunity.
The grant is a continuation of the Striving Readers Comprehensive Literacy grant that was awarded in 2018 and is coordinated by the Kentucky Department of Education.
