Moore County Schools (MCS) will receive continued funding through North Carolina’s Digital Learning Impact Grant for the 2026-27 school year.
MCS is among 12 public school districts and charter schools receiving more than $1 million combined in continued funding through the program. The grants support multi-year initiatives to develop, implement, and evaluate innovative digital teaching and learning practices.
“This continued funding supports innovative digital teaching and learning practices designed to strengthen educator capacity and improve student learning experiences,” said Moore County Schools in a post on Facebook. “We are proud to see this work continuing in MCS!”
The North Carolina State Board of Education approved the funding through the state’s competitive Digital Learning Initiative Grant Program.
Each grant is intended to help school systems address emerging instructional challenges and improve student learning experiences and outcomes. The program supports North Carolina’s Digital Learning Plan, which establishes long-term priorities for digital-age teaching and learning and provides resources for educators and students.
“The goal of the program is to identify, elevate, and share effective models of instructional innovation that demonstrate digital leadership, strengthen educator practice, and improve student learning,” said Dr. Vanessa Wren, chief information officer for the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. “Through statewide collaboration and sharing of promising practices, these locally developed models can inform and inspire high-quality digital teaching and learning across North Carolina’s public schools.”
