Valley Unified to Receive FEDES III Grant

Valley Unified Regional Service Center has been notified by the Maine Department of Education that they are an award recipient for the third round of EMBRACE grants, also known as FEDES III.   A total of 17 regions applied for this round; however, in the end, only four were chosen.

Negotiations with the DOE are set to occur on February 1st, where DOE representatives will review the grant application goals with the Valley Unified Regional team.  Included in this grant are all engineering/architectural costs associated with site selection, school concept design, facilities study, comprehensive enrollment study, and educational visioning.  These are all costs that would have otherwise had to be funded locally and reimbursed during the construction phases of the Regional School project.
