MECHANICSBURG, PA—The Pennsylvania School Boards Association (PSBA) recently announced an exciting new partnership with the First in Math® Online Program that will allow the association to award 100,000 one-year First in Math licenses to school districts through the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
“We are extremely excited that First in Math has generously supplied 100,000 one-year licenses to districts throughout Pennsylvania,” says PSBA Director of Business Partner Development Laura Huggins. “This is a great opportunity for students in member school entities to benefit from a proven tool to improve math skills.”
PSBA has been granted the one-year licenses and will be working with qualifying districts to place these throughout the state at no expense to the school entities. To date, more than 75 school districts have already taken advantage of this grant, with approximately 90,000 licenses already committed. November 30, 2014 is the deadline for school districts to apply.*
"Pennsylvania is our home state, and we are honored to partner with the PSBA on this and future initiatives,” says Robert Sun, inventor of the 24® game and creator of the First In Math® program. “Working together, we can show the nation how to energize every child to learn, love and live math.”
The Pennsylvania School Boards Association is a nonprofit statewide association of public school boards, pledged to the highest ideals of local lay leadership for the public schools of the commonwealth. Founded in 1895, PSBA is the first school boards association established in the United States.
