STEAMBOAT SPRINGS Steamboat Montessori School is part of a group with a dozen other charter schools that obtained a nearly $1.5 million state grant to fund a pilot program aimed at identifying strategies to increase student engagement both during and after the pandemic.
The local school will receive about $90,000 of that money over the next two fiscal years. Not all schools in the group will try the same technique. Instead, they hope to test one of about five different ideas in each of the 13 different schools receiving the grant.
