In April 2010, the Glendale School District was the recipient of a $652,176 Keystones to Opportunity Grant. Glendale was one of the 56 Pennsylvania public school districts to receive a share of $36,670,720 in competitive grant funds designed to improve reading instruction for children from birth to grade 12.

Keystones to Opportunity is Pennsylvania’s vision for sustainable growth in reading achievement. The grant opportunity came to Pennsylvania from the United States Department of Education. Pennsylvania has the opportunity to receive a total of $193 million over a five-year period. In the first year, Glendale received $652,176 with a chance to be awarded additional funds during the next four additional years.

The project is designed around three Keystones: 

• The first is to improve literacy learning outcomes and dramatically increase reading achievement among students in danger of academic failure, birth through grade 12 in Pennsylvania. 
• The second is to create a culture of data-driven decision-making and use this to guide instruction. 
• The third is to infuse digital technology, providing teachers with examples of how technology tools can provide multiple pathways to express and represent information as well as creative options for developing literacy persistence, stamina, and motivation.
