Colorado has been awarded $5.2 million to help raise student achievement at some of the state’s lowest performing schools.

The student victims of the Connecticut school shooting rampage that left 20 first-graders and six educators dead in December have been granted an unprecedented one-time waiver on taking standardized tests.

The AP reports:

Three Colorado schools have been recognized for their environmental stewardship as part of the first U-S Department of Education’s list of Green Ribbon Schools. In the Poudre School District, Wellington Middle School was among 78 schools awarded in 29 states nationally.
