>Ridgewood schools will receive close to $1 million from the federal government as part of the U.S. Department of Education’s Teaching American History Grants program. Ridgewood will receive the largest portion of the funding with a total of $999,479.
The five year program is to “fill in the gaps” in areas where teachers have had minimal exposure to historical content.
The federal funding assists Local Education Associations partners with relevant entities to help teachers develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of U.S. history, resulting in improved student comprehension.
