The Governor’s Office of Student Achievement has awarded the Richmond County School System (RCSS) $10,000 as part of the Innovative Education Fund Grant Program. Out of 36 applicants, RCSS was one of six applicants to receive funding.  

The grant funds will be used to continue student access to Focus Education and Innovation (FEV) Tutoring program, an on-demand and live tutorial service for students in kindergarten through high school.  FEV Tutor is available to provide around the clock support for RCSS students in math, English/language arts, reading, social studies and science.  

“Students and parents tell us that FEV Tutor has been helpful to provide support for difficult classes and content at times convenient for them,” says Yvette Foster, RCSS Director of Teaching and Learning. “This grant award makes it possible to continue offering free tutoring services for our students when they need it.” 

Since the tutoring program was launched in October 2020, 1,200 students have logged more than 5,700 hours of service.
