BEAVER Knowledge is power, and a Beaver County group is hoping to use that power to make education more equitable.
The Quality Education Council of the Beaver County Partnership for Community and Economic Growth on Monday received $175,000 in grants from the Pennsylvania Department of Education and the Grable Foundation to continue the third phase of its Future of Education in Beaver County Public Schools Feasibility Study.
The third phase of the multi-year study will involve a team from the Johns Hopkins University Center for Research and Reform in Education. It will focus on exploring ways to enhance equitable educational opportunities for students in ways that are both fiscally responsible and sustainable, officials said.
