The Osceola School District's share will total $1,944,084 for the Interactive Mathematics United With Science and Technology "I MUST" Partnership to develop long-term collaboration and integration between high school science, mathematics, and career and technical education teachers to promote exemplary science instruction and increase student achievement in science.
