The Vallejo City Unified School District will receive another $1.4 million to implement the Common Core State Standards, the state Department of Education announced Tuesday.

Most of that money will be used to fund technological improvements necessary for students to take new computerized tests based on the Common Core State Standards, said LaTonya Derbigny, the district’s director of school and student accountability.

“We’re going to be using it to build the infrastructure to our schools, provide Wi-Fi as well as computer access to all our children — really bring our learning up to the 20th century,” Derbigny said.
