The Rockdale community is 5.3 million steps closer to realizing the dream of the new College and Career Academy. The U.S. Economic Development Administration recently awarded a $5.3 million grant to Rockdale ISD for this project. Rockdale ISD acquired the former Little River Hospital in 2022 with the intent of making it a career and technical education facility. RISD has been working with Temple College to establish a satellite campus in Rockdale. The Academy will be an integral workforce training asset as Rockdale seeks to attract employers to the area. https://lnkd.in/gumJn8Ef
