WOODSTOCK – Woodstock School District 200 is one of 34 finalists in Illinois for an America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education grant.

Finalist schools were chosen for their program ideas and funding needs. District 200 also benefited from community support through numerous farmer nominations which strengthened the district’s application.

The grant review process includes an online application scoring system based on merit, need and community support; a review by science and math teachers from ineligible school districts; and a farmer advisory council.
