Other grants include $478,020 to support professional and leadership development for Sarasota County Schools, $400,000 to expand its educational services for DeSoto County students in grades 6 to 12 while also initiating work with families of newborns and young children to lay the foundation for quality early education, and $155,000 to support its Diversifying Ocean Sciences program, which provides experiential learning and mentoring opportunities for emerging BIPOC scientists.
