Lt. Gov. Cagle and Ford to announce education grants

From CBS Atlanta

By Danielle Powell

Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle and Ford Motor Company Fund will announce a $20,000 contribution Monday that will fund grants for local school systems to implement Ford PAS Next Generation Learning.

The first two grants will be awarded to the Newton County School System and the Hapeville Charter College and Career Academy.

A competition for three additional grants will be held this fall for schools interested in implementing the Ford PAS curriculum.

Ford PAS offers interdisciplinary, inquiry-based and team-focused learning for high school students.

Currently, Floyd, Newton and Effingham counties are affiliated with the Ford PAS Next Generation Learning Network.
