Grants led the April 22 Barren County Board of Education meeting.
Assistant Superintendent of Instruction Scott Harper announced that the district received a School Facility Construction Commission grant of $4.195 million.
With this grant, which will be given in one lump sum, Harper said the plan is to add roughly 5,000 square feet to the existing Barren County Area Technology Center.
Once completed, Harper said that area will be used for classes that are a part of the industrial maintenance.
Harper added that the board’s approval only recognized the state funding and no construction plans have yet been made.
Director of Elementary Instruction Michael Davis also announced the district had been awarded the Kentucky Comprehensive Literacy grant for $1.5 million over 5 years, which equates to $312,000 this school year.
This article will be updated with additional information at a later date.
