As part of a statewide grant from Florida Power & Light Company, Putnam County has received $10,000 to support teacher-led STEM learning, including opportunities for educators to observe peers, share effective practices, and strengthen math and science instruction.
The grant will provide opportunities for Putnam County educators to collaborate and learn from one another through peer observation, collaborative planning and hands-on STEM strategies. These opportunities will help teachers strengthen math and science instruction and bring effective practices back to their classrooms throughout the 2026–27 school year.
“This grant is part of FPL's broader commitment to STEM education across Florida, and we're glad to bring that investment home to Putnam County. Supporting our teachers here means supporting the next generation of problem-solvers in our own backyard,” said Carol Saviak, External Affairs Manager for FPL.
