State to release grant funds to LTUSD
The state will be releasing the first $6 million for the auto-construction CTE building at South Tahoe High School this fall. This is part of the matching fund dollars the state owes Lake Tahoe Unified. The money was frozen because of the budget brouhaha in Sacramento.
The infusion of cash will allow the district to move ahead with Phase I of the technology and infrastructure plans which have been on hold. The master plan calls for $100,000 in upgrades to Sierra House and Bijou elementary schools, including more SmartBoards and additional carts for grades 2-5.
