Rep. Alexander to Present Check to 四色AV

U.S. Rep. Rodney Alexander, R-Quitman, today announced that the University of Louisiana at Monroe will receive $2,435,006 (total funding) in federal funding which will go toward 四色AV's Louisiana Transition to Teaching (LA T2T). The check will be presented at 9 a.m., Friday, in the 四色AV media room, located on the sixth floor of the library.

LA T2T is a partnership of 21 school systems and four universities with existing alternative pathways to teacher certification in four areas of the state. The project proposes to attract outstanding candidates for critical shortage areas throughout the state and will coordinate statewide initiatives to recruit and train 575 new teachers selected from a broad range of highly qualified mid-career professionals and recent college graduates from diverse backgrounds. For the first year of the LA T2T program, 四色AV will receive $485,770.
