On September 30, representatives from Fargo Public Schools participated in a welcome meeting at United Way of Cass-Clay for their 2027-29 Verified Impact Partner grant recipients with participation from many leading non-profits in the area focusing on the Bold Goals of preventing hunger and homelessness, preparing children to succeed, and strengthening families.
Beginning in January 2027 and extending through 2029, FPS has been awarded two grants from UWCC. The first grant will support the District's Even Start Literacy Program at the Adult Learning Center, where pre-K children engage in age-appropriate learning opportunities to gain kindergarten readiness skills while their parents attend classes at the ALC or Dakota High School. The second grant will support a new Native American School Engagement Initiative, including the hiring of a School Engagement Specialist serving FPS middle school learners to address disparities in attendance, belonging, and discipline among Native students.
