HARRISBURG – Rep. Craig Staats (R-Bucks) announced that the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) has awarded Quakertown Community School District (QCSD) funding through PDE’s Environmental Repairs Grant Program.
Pennsylvania school districts, career and technical education centers (CTCs), and charter schools receiving grants from this program can use the funding to improve water infrastructure and eliminate contamination; install point-of-use treatment devices to reduce lead and other contaminants; remediate mold or asbestos contamination; and for other projects that address environmental hazards in school buildings.
QCSD received a $156,627 grant from the program. "I am thrilled to see QCSD receive this important funding," said Staats. "This grant money from PDE will allow Quakertown to fund some needed improvements and safety projects for facilities in the district. This will make our schools safer for students and teachers for the foreseeable future."
