Thirteen school districts and child care organizations across Idaho will implement innovative technology for child nutrition programs thanks to more than $175,000 in federal Technology Innovation Grant funds distributed by the State Department of Education.
The mini-grants help the districts and organizations purchase technology solutions for Child and Adult Care Food Programs, Summer Food Service Programs and National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs.
Locally, the Orofino Joint School District received one of the largest monetary amounts – $24,000 – to install keyless entry systems and temperature monitoring equipment.
The Culdesac School District received more than $3,200 for two desktop computers and one laptop.
