Calhoun Schools will receive funding for Internet access from a $2.1 million ERate grant, according to Sen. Jay Rockefeller.

Thirteen West Virginia school systems and one library have been awarded funding.

Rockefeller co-authored the ERate program, which helps schools and libraries pay the cost of telecommunications, Internet access, and internal connections.

School systems receiving funding are Boone, Brooke, Calhoun, Hampshire, Jackson, Jefferson, Mason, Mercer, Mineral, Pendleton, Wayne, Wetzel and Wood counties.

The Kanawha County Library also received ERate funds.
