The license area includes from Richmond to Charlottesville, and from the Tri-Cities down to eastern North Carolina. The school system will use the money for various Standards of Learning intiatives, said Superintendent Warren Stewart. Since Motorola first announced they were coming to Goochland, we have had an ongoing relationship and talked about ways they could support education in Goochland. Part of the money will finance the salaries of teachers who will lead sessions after school, on Saturdays, and during the summer. Other funds will finance construction of a new computer laboratory at the middle school, as well as pay for laptop computers students may take home to complete projects.
Eighth graders can take advantage of after-school instruction and the new writing computer lab.
Stewart planned to meet with a team of parents on Tuesday to go over the plans and to solicit their ideas on how the money should be spent.
