UPDATED: Here is some revised information on the blog item posted Monday on the math grant won by four local school districts, the Sonoma County Office of Education and Sonoma State University.

Bellevue District is the lead player in a team that won a California Mathematics and Science Partnership grant. The team includes SCOE, districts of Santa Rosa, Petaluma and Healdsburg, as well as the math and elementary education department at Sonoma State University.

The program, Project LEAD, is funded by an annual $950,000 that will cover three years of professional development in math for 120 teachers who teach grades three through algebra. SSU will receive about $93,000 of the funding to pay for faculty leadership and professional development, according to SSU.

Sonoma State University math professors Ben Ford and Brigitte Lahme, along with Literacy, Elementary and Early Education professor Kathy Morris, will lead the effort at SSU.

The program is the most recent collaboration facilitated by the North Bay Mathematics Project, a 10-year collaboration between SSU and SCOE.
