The Petersburg School District (PSD) has received a large federal grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The Comprehensive Literacy State Development Grant gives the district $350,000 every year for five years, which would be more than $1.7 million at the end of five years. Those funds will be used to help improve literacy skills for every kid in Petersburg from birth to 12th grade.

More information on the grant can be found here. The Word of the Day program was created in collaboration with PSD and KFSK.
