BHS Receives $50,000 ACCESS Grant

Congratulations to Brantley School for receipt of a $50,000 ACCESS Grant.  Yours truly made the announcement at the pep rally last Friday.  Said funds will be used to purchase wireless access points, laptops, and 70 iPads. (I mistakenly stated that the devices would be iPad 3s, however, because of limited funds and volume of devices to be ordered, items will be iPad 2s).

Criteria for the grant was that the site had to be a previous pilot ACCESS site and funds had to be expended per State guidelines by September 30, 2012.  Needless to say, the order has been placed!
