BERRYVILLEÂ â Clarke County Public Schools (CCPS) has received $66,073 in state grants to improve security at three of the division s schools.
The grants will be spent on improvements at Clarke County High School, D.G. Cooley Elementary School and Boyce Elementary School, Superintendent Chuck Bishop told the Clarke County School Board during its meeting this week.
A grant application submitted for Johnson-Williams Middle School wasn t approved, Bishop said. The Virginia Department of Education (DOE) didn t say why, he said.
The schools must cover 25% of the grant amounts while the state will cover the rest, Bishop said. The local share will be taken out of the schools capital account, he added.
