San Luis Valley Region

Grant Highlight

Center Consolidated School District Adult Education/Early Learning Center ($22,000)

With a mission of “Focused on the Future,” the Center Consolidated School District serves an ethnically diverse community in a poor and rural area of the San Luis Valley. The district seeks to develop independent, self-directed, self-motivated, adventurous, risk-taking, experiential learners armed with the skills necessary to meet the challenges they will face in the 21st Century.

The Council's grant went to support the creation of an Adult Education/Learning Center located on the high school campus, adjacent to the public library. The project includes the purchase of 12 laptop computers, hiring of a program coordinator, partnering with other agencies to provide testing and assessment tools, parenting classes, ESL, ABE, GED and other adult programs promoting self-improvement.
