Three SCCPSS high schools have been selected as recipients of the Georgia FY10 Title II D Competitive Grant.

The grant has been awarded to Groves High , Johnson High, and Savannah Arts Academy.

Each school will receive $64,580 to implement the effective use of handheld technology in Advanced Placement (AP) classes.

The grant funds will be used to purchase appropriate handheld equipment and jobembedded professional learning for participating teachers.

The grants were designed to help AP teachers enhance resource and data offerings to be used by students inside and/or outside the classroom. The grants were also designed to assist high schools in attracting a wider spectrum of students to enroll in AP classes, thereby increasing the diversity of the AP student population.
