Marla Brown (R-Lawrence) today announced $1.5 million in funding will be allocated to public school districts within the 9th Legislative District through the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) Public School Facility Improvement Grant program.

We are committed to creating a safe, modern and effective learning environment for every student in the 9th District.”
The following school districts will benefit from these grants:
