Reston, VA – NASSP Executive Director JoAnn Bartoletti issued the following statement:Earlier today, Apple announced the list of 114 schools selected to receive grants as part of Apple’s $100 million commitment to President Obama’s ConnectED initiative. As a participant in the selection process, NASSP congratulates those schools and wishes them well on the exciting journey ahead.
