Hampton University has received a five-year, $2.69 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education to partner with high-need Virginia school divisions to offer educational training for administrators.
Administrators will learn research-based practices designed to turn around low-achieving schools, a university news release said.
Participating divisions were classified as level I or level II based on low-income population data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
The level I districts - Portsmouth, Franklin, Danville and Roanoke - will pay nothing to participate. The level II districts - including Suffolk, Hampton and Newport News - will receive partial funding because they don't meet the education department's definition of "high-need."
