CARSON, Miss. (AP) - A rural school district in south Mississippi is getting federal money for video conferencing to help students learn from teachers in other places.
Seven schools in the Jefferson Davis County district will share a grant of nearly $500,000.
The money is coming from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s rural development program.
A USDA news release says the schools will have video connections with partner schools and Pearl River Community College.
Students will be able to take higher level courses in middle school and high school. They’ll also get a chance for dual enrollment to earn college credit. And, the video conferencing will be used to enhance vocational programs.
