St. Clair RESA Board of Trustees, in conjunction with a grant from Michigan Energy Works, approved money for the construction of three wind turbines and solar panels for the purpose of promoting alternative energy education in St. Clair County. The project also included resources for St. Clair County Middle Schools that would allow students to integrate wind and solar technology into their science and math courses.
Students take the WorkKeys tests as part of the MME. Of the 3 tests, students typically score the lowest on the Locating Information Test.
