SENATOR NEEDLEMAN WELCOMES $500,000 SUPPORTING COLCHESTER PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Today, State Senator Norm Needleman (D-Essex) welcomed the State Bond Commission’s vote to approve $500,000 of funding to support Colchester Public Schools. The grant funds will support a sound enhancement system allowing students with hearing disabilities to hear when in school.
“It’s great news that Colchester is getting this funding to make sure all of our students have the same opportunities to succeed,” said Sen. Needleman. “It’s very meaningful to provide services that aid students and ensure every student can learn, grow and thrive on their own terms. I’m grateful to the State Bond Commission and Governor Lamont for their support of our communities.”
The $500,000 approved by the State Bond Commission today supports Colchester Public Schools’ Sound Fields Project. This project supports a sound enhancement system allowing students with cochlear implants the ability to hear better when in class, meaningful for students with hearing disabilities and ensuring the school can meet all students’ needs. |
