The Kelloggsville Board of Education on June 10 heard that the district has been awarded a $350,000 SME PRIME (Partnership Response in Manufacturing Education) grant to expand manufacturing and engineering education.
Jeff Owen, director of instruction, told the board the grant places Kelloggsville among 110 PRIME schools across 23 states, 50 of which are in Michigan. The grant will fund training for three teachers this summer and support a new Career and Technical Education program set to begin in the 2024–25 school year.
Owen and Assistant Superintendent Eric Alcorn also reported that the district’s Southeast Media Center and the Kelloggsville High School STEM addition — projects started in summer 2023 — have been completed and are fully operational. The district described K–12 STEM activities already in place, including Lego Robotics for elementary grades, a middle‑school coding program, Intro to Computer Science and a Robotics Team at the high school, and plans to expand AP Computer Science and additional Intro to Computer Science sections in 2024–25.
The minutes show the board is tracking multiple goals tied to increasing STEM participation and ensuring the new physical resources are utilized by students. Specific budgetary details for grant allocation and program staffing were not included in the meeting minutes.
