Where does funding for AR come from? (Include computers, test disks, and book purchases)?
The majority of funding for the Accelerated Reader program came from a grant from the J. A. & Kathryn Albertson Foundation in 1997. To date, the grant total has been $314,261 to expand accessibility, provide books, and to increase student achievement in reading. Our district was also fortunate to receive a grant from the Idaho Council for Technology in Learning (ICTL) in the amount of $164,387. The district utilizes funds from the Federal Forest allocations, Federal Title VI-Innovative Education Program allocations and local district funds to enhance and maintain the Accelerated Reader Program.
