CFF Grant Funds Transition to College Mathematics and Statistics Course
The foundation’s grant supplements money from a state College Readiness Block Grant, and will enable the District to offer Transition to College Mathematics and Statistics (TCMS) to more than 3,000 students. The course, which was co-developed with math faculty at California State University Northridge (CSUN) and piloted at seven schools in 2016-17, is designed to reduce the need for remediation and prepare college-bound graduates for the rigors of post-secondary math. -- San Fernando Valley Sun

CREATIVE ENERGY | The Arterie is a place for freedom of expression
Franke is a trained artist specializing in watercolor, with a strong emphasis on photorealism and printmaking. She also has a solid background in teaching.
