A $3 million Title V grant received by Reedley College will help support Dinuba Unified School District students in completing science and or/informa- tion systems certificate and/or degree.
Through the grant funding, it will pro- vide an opportunity to create academic pro- grams and increase the availability of stu- dent services in the Di- nuba Vocational Educa- tion Center, located in downtown Dinuba.
The announcement is great news for the district.
"We have a great partnership with Reed- ley College," said DUSD Superintendent, Dr. Joe
Hernandez. "This is an exciting opportunity for our students to be able to access comput- er science classes from the Vocational Center."
This will foster flexible and affordable guided paths to obtain- ing knowledge and skills in Computer Sci- ence and Information systems that include hybrid options for course completion sup- ported by work-based learning assignments in the community.
Hernandez added, "we already have a significant number of dual enrollment classes through Reedley Col- lege and now we are adding computer sci- ence to the menu of op- tions for our students in a high-demand ca- reer field.”

Dinuba based Alta, which serves eastern Fresno County, north-
ern Tulare County (east and south of the Kings River) and a slice of western Kings County, covers about 130,000 acres. Runoff from the Kings River is delivered to lands through a network of interconnected irriga- tion facilities such as earthen and concrete- lined ditches as well as pipelines. In total, there are approximate- ly 250 miles of ditch- es (about 500 miles
