In 2002, ten additional centers in Braxton, Calhoun, Gilmer, Lincoln, Logan, McDowell, Roane, Summers, Wyoming and Webster counties were funded through the ARC Distressed Counties Initiative. Seven additional centers in Boone, Fayette, Lewis, Mason, Ritchie, Wetzel and Wirt counties were opened as a result of a Distressed Counties Grant in 2003-04. Because of the overwhelming success of the project and positive response from the community the ARC, provided funding for seven more centers in Grant, Hancock, Ohio, Marshall, Mineral, Upshur and Kanawha counties.
The completion of the centers in 2005-06 will bring the total network of TOC centers to 45 state wide. Over 550,000 community members, students and teachers have used these centers to date. This project is one example of the determination of The EdVenture Group to build a technology backbone across West Virginia that supports schools and the community. The continued enrollment in the free training also demonstrates the sustained demand in the communities for the resources and training provided by the TOCs.
