The Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) has awarded the Ripley County Community Foundation $444,051.00 to assist in alleviating the learning loss in Ripley County that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic. This funding comes from the IDOE’s 1008 Grant, which was created earlier this year as part of the Student Learning Recovery Grant Program to accelerate learning for Indiana’s students in the area of literacy, mathematics, and college and career readiness. Facilitated by the Community Foundation’s initiative, Genesis: Pathways to Success, the 1008 Grant will provide programs designed to address social/emotional health, alleviate learning loss, and accelerate learning by engaging students in exciting and creative ways through hands-on programming, with a primary content focus on literacy, science, technology, reading, engineering, art, and mathematics. These programs will align with Indiana Academic Standards and Indiana Employability Skills Standards.
