Schools to Get $8 Million in Grants for Computers
Five high schools in the Long Beach Unified School District have been promised state and federal grants totaling more than $8.5 million, district officials said Tuesday.
Lakewood, Jordan and Millikan high schools were selected at random for state grants of more than $1 million each to upgrade their computer technology, said district spokesman Richard Van Der Laan.
In addition, Cabrillo and Wilson high schools are slated to receive federal grants together worth more than $5.4 million over the next three years. The money will help establish both schools as magnet schools, with Cabrillo offering courses emphasizing technology education and Wilson emphasizing academics.
