High school district receives grant

The Huntington Beach Union High School District was awarded a total of

$2.37 million as part of Gov. Gray Davis’ Education Technology Grant

Program for high schools. The grant provides one-time funding to place

Internet-ready computers in California high schools and increase student

accessibility to computers.

Each school was awarded a certain grant determined by the amount of

Internet-capable computers each school needs to achieve a 4.75 to 1

ratio. After purchasing enough computers to meet the ratio, remaining

funds could be used for related equipment and software, networking,

technical support or professional development and training.

The district is committed to placing the funds directly into

multimedia computers to ensure that every student has access to the

Internet.
