Grant Shows It Pays to Study in Attleboro

BY Rick Foster SUN CHRONICLE STAFF April 14, 2009

 

City schools earn private funds for training, cash incentives for students, teachers in advanced placement level classes

 

ATTLEBORO - A $750,000 grant funded by the private sector will allow the high school to greatly expand the number of students taking advanced placement courses in English, mathematics and science.

Superintendent Pia Durkin and Principal Jeffrey Newman Monday unveiled the grant, which would be used for teacher training, stipends and cash incentive awards to both students and teachers over a five-year period.

The school obtained the grant through the Massachusetts Mathematics and Science Initiative, with major financial support from Exxon Mobil, the Gates Foundation and the Dell Foundation. The Attleboro school was one of 14 Bay State schools selected to participate in the program and receive a share of $13.2 million in funding, Durkin said.

AHS May Be Closer to a New Roof

City council OKs loan order needed for state program consideration


ATTLEBORO - A $250,000 loan order that will pave the way for the design of a new roof for the high school was approved by the city council on an 11-0 vote.

While Mayor Kevin Dumas does not intend to borrow the money, a commitment to borrow money was needed to qualify for the approximately 57 percent reimbursement from the state's School Building Authority program, he said.

With the commitment in hand, the city can hire a consultant to do a feasibility study to determine what needs to be done and how much it will cost to replace the almost 6 acres of roof at the school on Rathbun Willard Drive.
