As schools across the nation race to keep up with technology trends, Rusk Independent School District has received two grants that will insure they stay ahead of the game through the purchase of 2,100 laptops.

RISD recently received an $850,000 Connections Grant, a grant program offered by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) that serves to “establish campuses that will serve as demonstration sites for increased student learning through the exemplary use of educational technology.”
