Port Townsend schools get $100k education grant

Posted

The Port Townsend School District was included in a round of environmental education grants from the Environmental Protection Agency to empower communities, teachers, and students in Washington state and Oregon.

Out of the $400,000 awarded to education institutions in the Pacific Northwest, a total of $100,000 was granted to Port Townsend to fund two-day, professional development trainings for 50 K-12 educators from different school districts in the area.

The training is focused on managing the health of aquatic ecosystems, and prepares teachers to deliver place-based environmental education to more than 3,000 K-12 students through the public-school curriculum.

The public will be invited to attend a culminating event to view the student-generated projects.
