Capital Grant
​
 “Creation of a Networked Library Learning Commons”
LEAF is proud to announce a $100,000 multi‐year pledge to transform the district’s existing Library Media Centers into Library Learning Commons. This grant will propel the district’s efforts to integrate modern technologies into these critical learning centers and to develop an innovative and flexible learning platform for the benefit of teachers and students.
The investment in new technologies to create Learning Commons in each school will enhance library management systems, provide anytime access to curricular materials, inspire interdisciplinary cooperation, offer authentic learning opportunities, teach ethical and responsible use of information, integrate the Common Core State Standards, improve digital literacy, promote differential learning strategies, expand virtual learning opportunities, raise students’ critical inquiry abilities, and many other benefits.
