Sporer has a goal of funding if the challenge is won.
School districts, like many districts, are responding to lower test scores due to COVID-19. Sporer said some of the funding could go towards supplementary learning to help students improve their scores.

The district seeks to create school-to-work opportunities by establishing local partnerships to host academic conferences, including coordinating with local colleges and businesses nearby.

To pave the way for students to earn certifications in trade and health and have school-to-work options while in high school.
