MEOC is very happy to introduce our new website/blog!

MEOC Grant Submitted
 
The MEOC Grant was submitted to the Department of Education in March. Grants are in the process of being reviewed and rated now, and we expect to hear back at some point this summer. Many thanks to all of the folks who helped us pull together the grant, without your partnerships and patience it never would have happened!
