The Washoe County School District held its annual State of Education address Monday night, and announced a major grant for local schools.
Traci Davis took the stage for the first time as permanent superintendent. And she used her opportunity to share some big news.
“Stacie Mathewson, founder and CEO of the non-profit, Transforming Youth Recovery, has announced [that] she intends to fund a 13-year project with $1 million per year.”
This grant will go toward student programs related to mental health, substance abuse and community outreach. The goal is to build a model that can be used nationwide.
