Robertson wins a $250,000 grant from RRISD
Robertson has been awarded $250,000, which the campus will use to close its achievement gap through a Blended Learning model. Through the five-year Blended Learning implementation, students work with technology and traditional lessons to accelerate learning at their own pace in English Language Arts and math.
Robertson also received a $45,000 Tier II Innovative School Grant for Blended Learning, bringing the total amount allocated to the project to $295,000.
