Dunkirk City Schools seek P-Tech funding

Officials at the Dunkirk School District are hoping to land a 500-thousand dollar annual New York State Pathways in Technology or P-Tech grant that would allow students to earn their associate's degree. Under the proposed educational training program, the Dunkirk School District would serve as the lead educational agency with BOCES serving as the facilitator. School Superintendent Gary Cerne says students at the middle school level would be given the opportunity to enroll in the unique learning environment.

The program would be open to students at all area school districts. The curriculum would include: welding, mechanical technology and precision machining. The grant money would be used to help pay the tuition costs with Jamestown Community College serving as the educational partner. School officials plan to file for the grant next week Friday and anticipate an answer this November.
