A Texas County school district is one of 18 in southwest Missouri to receive a grant, the Community Foundation of the Ozarks announced.
The foundation made the announcement in partnership with the Louis L. and Julia Dorothy Coover Charitable Foundation and Commerce Trust. A total of $80,000 went to the districts, which included Cabool and Mountain Grove.
“Schools are the cornerstones of so many towns across our region, and we know how often teachers spend out-of-pocket to improve their classrooms,” said Jill Reynolds, senior vice president at Commerce Trust and chair of the Coover Foundation grant selection committee. “We are grateful to provide this funding to elevate learning opportunities for students in rural communities.”
