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.

Senator Seward also announced $25,000 general assistance grants for Charlotte Valley, Cooperstown, Franklin, Laurens, Margaretville, Morris, Owen D. Young, South Kortright and Stamford central schools. Cherry Valley-Springfield Central School received a $10,000 grant to help fund the school’s artist in residence program.
