East Providence gets $250,000 from NASA

EAST PROVIDENCE - Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy presented a quarter-million dollar NASA grant to the East Providence school board today at Edward R. Martin Middle School.

The money will address “critical technology updates” for the math and science programs at middle and high schools in the city.

“There is no better investment in our future, than investing in the education of our children,” Kennedy said.

“I will continue to fight this administration for the full funding promised to you in No Child Left Behind, and I will continue to speak out against any further cuts to our education programs.”
