Four local schools will receive $9 million during the next three years to pay for state-of-the art computer-based math programs.
The grant, which kicked-in this school year and was announced Wednesday, funnels money to Tucson High Magnet School, Booth- Fickett Magnet School, Safford Middle Magnet School and Utterback Middle Magnet School.
Most of the money received has been spent on the "I CAN Learn" classroom system. The package includes a computer workstation for each student in the class, a teacher workstation and a classroom server.
"I CAN Learn" is an acronym for "Interactive Computer-Aided Natural Learning," a computer-based mathematics education system that teaches algebra, pre-algebra and other fundamentals of middle and high school math through video and animation.
All four schools are in the Tucson Unified School District, Tucson's largest school district with more than 60,000 students. The grant is from the U.S. Department of Education.
