MILFORD – State Sen. Jim Seward, R-Milford, this morning announced $273,000 in state grants, including $38,000 to support Milford Central School’s Career Opportunities in Rural Education (CORE) Initiative.
“Our schools are faced with growing financial demands while, at the same time, student needs are also on the rise,” said Seward. “Districts are often searching for new and innovative ways to help students prepare for the future, and I am pleased to help support these initiatives.”
CORE aims to match the skills of high school students with available jobs.
