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.
The Principal Investigator of STARK County MSP is Robert Bayer.

This site was created to enhance communication and collaboration
between partners within the Stark County
project as well as to inform the public of the efforts of the Math
and Science Partnership Program. While selected documents in the
library and resources sections have been made available
to the public, only logged in members of the
STARK County MSP project can post comments,
participate or read posts in the Working Groups, or see the interactive
Calendar.
