Good news for Morrisville schools. The 21st Century Grant was renewed for three years.
The Morrisville School District was recently awarded three more years of funding from the 21st Century Grant. It will receive $373,000 a year to continue community learning cetners at Grandview and M. R. Reiter Elementary Schools, Morrisville Middle and High Schools and the Ivins House.
Grant money will help contribute to homework support, remedial assistance, and enrichment.
The learning centers help kids with college preparation and cultural arts activities. They also offer a range of clubs and activities, including mentoring and tutoring, academic help, community service opportunities and more.

That's AWESUM! That means we can cut $373,000 out of our regular budget and reduce taxes in Morrisville.
Hooray for grants. Let's git sum more.
That is SO GREAT! I personally know of two 8 year olds who will be VERY HAPPY!
I'm sure the CPA will take credit in getting that approved....ya think?
Can I have the name, rank, and serial number of all grant money recipients? As a Professional Engineer (PE), I am an expert in accounting, bond financing and defeasement, assessing the condition of school buildings, and evaluating eligibility for grant monies on a student-by-student basis. I can do the same with special education and Vo-Tech funding too.
P.S. Can I also have the political affiliation of each student's parents or guardians, and where they stood on building the new school? I have some secret plans for that information too.
Its a great thing for the mo-ville kids!
Once again we are leaving out the children that have disabilities attend Morrisville School District in a support classroom setting but live out of the School district.
I was a resident of Morrisville my whole life. Paid taxes for 11 years as a single mom. Just recently moved out of morrisville into Yardley. My son has a disability and still attends Morrisville. He attended camp last summer no problem. Now he is not allowed. They need to think these grants out a little more and realize the restrictions are hurting those who do not deserve it.
