Cherokee Elementary School has received a $65,000 state grant to improve its technology, school officials confirmed today.
Cherokee Principal Clevetta Haynes said the school will use $40,000 to get new technology equipment and $25,000 to train staff on how to use the equipment. She said the grant came from the Oklahoma Educational Technology Trust.
Haynes said Cherokee will get new interactive chalkboards called SMART Boards, video editing machines, and hand-held devices which allow students to click-in answers to questions.
In previous years, Sadler Arts Academy, Ben Franklin Science Academy and Tony Goetz Elementary School got similar technology grants.
