Page 20 THE EVERETT ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, JULY 23, 2021 WANTED DELIVERY DRIVER FULL TIME CALL 617-387-4838 SCHOOL | FROM PAGE 14 said Tahiliani, adding that there were signifi cant shortfalls in the district’s technology infrastructure when she took over as superintendent in March 2020. Speaking about the district’s facilities, Tahiliani said the air purifiers will continue to be used during the 2021-2022 school year. She also said the air fi lters and dampers in each school will be cleaned or replaced during the summer. In addition, the district received four grants totaling $283,422. The fi rst grant, for $72,700, will fund the Summer Acceleration Academies. “These will be rigorous and designed to address any COVID learning loss,” said Tahiliani. The second grant, totaling $90,976, will be used for STEM equipment. In addition, the district received $5,746 for Project Lead the Way and $114,000 for Growing Literacy Equity Across Massachusetts for students in grades 6-12. Tahiliani also said the district received a donation of 1,800 books from the Park School in Brookline. Although teachers and students have become all too familiar with remote learning, Tahiliani said, the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has yet to release a recommendation on how to handle snow days this winter. “It’s something they’re still exploring,” she said.
