SOUTH BEND, Ind. — A charter school authorized by Education One, Trine University’s charter school authorizer, will receive a grant from the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE).
Career Academy Middle School in South Bend, Indiana, was recently named a recipient of a School Improvement Grant from the state. It was one of two South Bend-area schools to receive the grant.
Authorized under section 1003(g) of No Child Left Behind, the grants are awarded on a competitive basis to schools that serve a high percentage of low-income families and have demonstrated a need for additional resources.
The schools could receive up to $3.3 million through the grant. The money will be split into a one-year planning phase, followed by a three-year implementation phase.
Career Academy Middle School began the planning phase after a kickoff meeting with IDOE on Oct. 4. An Educational Transformation Team will begin meeting soon to guide the process of school improvement and transformation, and to oversee implementation of the grant.
Trine University students Isaac Braun, a senior chemical engineering major from Portland, Indiana, and Ryan Sederstrom, a junior electrical engineering major from Cedar Lake, Indiana, placed 15th in the collegiate pairs tournament at the North American Bridge Championships.
Trine University has been selected to be part of a national program to help campuses respond to the challenges and opportunities artificial intelligence (AI) presents for courses, curricula and higher education in general.
Two Trine University faculty members recently participated in the biennial Actuarial Teaching Conference (ATC), held July 19-21 in Columbus, Ohio.
