Past Grants

Baltimore City Public School System (BCPSS)/Early Identification and Intervention Project

Three-year funding for planning and implementation of the BCPSS Early Identification and Intervention Project at Barclay Elementary/Middle School and Edgewood Elementary School. Thirty low-performing students who are in need of a core language/literacy development program will be identified. State-of-the-art practices will be integrated into an intervention program. The success of these efforts will be measured by the percentage of students who achieve grade-level performance at the end of the first grade, and the reduction in the number of students requiring special education for reading-related disabilities.

Baltimore City Public School System/Baltimore Freedom Academy

For costs of the installation of doors to create a physical separation of space between the Baltimore Freedom Academy and Lombard Middle School. The doors will help ensure the safety of students and decrease disruption between the schools.

Baltimore City Public School System

The Baltimore Algebra Project

For expansion of the Algebra Project tutoring services to Lemmel Middle School. By establishing a group of tutors and a peer-to-peer training system for new tutors, the project is expected to improve student grades and encourage positive attitudes about mathematics.
