The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) has awarded 16 districts, charter schools and educational organizations almost $700,000 in Innovation in Service Learning Grants to initiate or expand service-learning opportunities for students with a community partner organization. Â
Red Wing Public Schools will partner with RiseUP Red Wing’s Community Youth Council on a project focused on math literacy among middle school students.
High school students will help with delivery of math skills and developing community-wide excitement and responsibility for math education. Â
This new grant will expand innovative service-learning opportunities for students in grades K-12 to increase student engagement and academic achievement, help close the academic achievement gap, and create a positive school climate and safer schools and communities. Â
