Jonathan Adelstein, national administrator for USDA Rural Utilities Service (RUS), was in Arizona recently to announce funding for distance learning and broadband projects in Arizona. Among the three projects announced is a $246,586 grant to the Cochise County ITV Consortium / Cochise Technology District. Funds will be used to offer classes online and to connect rural and border schools. The RUS grant requires a match from the Consortium, which can be satisfied through all of the high schools through dollars and in-kind funding, such as purchasing needed equipment. The Cochise County Superintendent’s Office is also helping with the match.
