Seventeen South Dakota school districts will receive over $3 million in Career and Technical Education (CTE) Innovative Equipment Grants to implement emerging technology and modern equipment in CTE programs.
"The equipment schools purchase with these grants will open students' eyes to amazing career opportunities in their backyards," said Secretary of Education Tiffany Sanderson. "They are taking their CTE programs to the cutting-edge, helping students master industry standards, learn from employers in their local communities, and develop skills for high-demand, high-wage fields in South Dakota."
These grants are funded with federal dollars available to the Department of Education through the American Rescue Plan (ARP) and the Governor's Emergency Education Relief Fund (GEER).
