Richmond County has received a $10,000 grant from the Governor’s Office of Student Achievement.
The school system was one of six who received the grant out of 36 applicants.
Funds will support continued student access to Focus Education and Innovation (FEV) Tutoring program, an on-demand and live tutorial service for students in kindergarten through high school.
FEV Tutor provides around-the-clock support for RCSS students in math, English/language arts, reading, social studies and science.
“Students and parents tell us that FEV Tutor has been helpful to provide support for difficult classes and content at times convenient for them,” says Yvette Foster, RCSS director of teaching and learning. “This grant award makes it possible to continue offering free tutoring services for our students when they need it.”
The tutoring program was launched in October 2020. Since that time, 1,200 students have logged more than 5,700 hours of service.
