Stark County Math and Science Partnership
The Stark County MSP project funded in October 2002 by the National Science Foundation fosters Stark County's efforts to improve overall student achievement in math and science while reducing the achievement gap at the middle and high school levels. The partnership includes 17 school districts, the Stark County Educational Service Center, 5 area colleges (Malone College, Stark State College, Kent State University - Stark, Walsh University, and Mount Union College), local business and industry, and The Stark Education Partnership. Please view Project Showcase for a list of accomplishments.The NSF, impressed with Stark County's endeavors, extended the grant by 2 years enabling us to continue some of our programs and focus on: publishing results from our grant initiatives; maintaining our MSP website; and obtaining, reporting, and interpreting valuable data used to improve curriculum and instruction.
Stark County is grateful to the NSF and looking forward to 2 more years of progress toward our goals.
