Venture Taranaki’s partnership with Callaghan
Innovation has resulted in funding for 35 university
students to undertake a 10-week internship over their summer
break.
During Summer 2020/21, the students have been
working across a variety of Taranaki businesses, providing
fresh ideas on how to improve current products or services,
and undertaking research into new ideas. The R&D
Experience Grant is a New Zealand-wide programme aimed at
students studying technology, science, engineering, or
design, Venture Taranaki Chief Executive Justine Gilliland
explains. This year we have seen a significant
increase in the number of businesses apply for the grant,
which shows that despite - or perhaps because of - COVID-19
Thousands of CMS parents sign letter to governor asking for choice to send kids to in-person learning
N.C. parents calling on state to allow in-person learning By Paige Pauroso | January 21, 2021 at 4:57 PM EST - Updated January 21 at 8:24 PM

Four groups representing four major school districts in North Carolina, including Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, came together to write the letter. Thousands of parents are represented.
Part of the letter reads “NC educators and NC families have been increasingly concerned with the significant class failure rates, decreased class attendance rates, and emotional/mental health of our children who have become isolated, are not participating in sports, and are not receiving a solid education that will prepare them for college and the remainder of their life.”
Mecklenburg County s most recent community spread numbers.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is scheduled to reopen all schools for in-person classes next week, for the first time since March. Tuesday night the school board will decide whether it’s safe to move ahead.
Parents and teachers on both sides of the issue are impassioned; more than 30 are signed up to speak at the board meeting. And both sides have troubling data to bolster their views.
In early December the CMS board voted to keep all students learning remotely for the first two weeks of class in January. That was to let officials see what community spread of COVID-19 looked like after winter break.
