Star Schools Program

Star Schools Program

The Star Schools Program is a United States government program created to honor schools. Established by the United States Department of Education, the purpose of this program is to:

* Encourage improved instruction in mathematics, science, foreign languages, and other subjects.
* Serve underserved populations, including disadvantaged, non-reading, and limited English proficient populations and individuals with disabilities. Star Schools grants are made to eligible telecommunications partnerships, to enable such partnerships to:
** develop, construct, acquire, maintain, and operate telecommunications audio and visual facilities and equipment;
** develop and acquire educational and instructional programming; and
** obtain technical assistance for the use of such facilities and instructional programming.
