Cabot Grant to Support High School Technology Upgrade

 

CABOT GRANT TO SUPPORT HIGH SCHOOL TECHNOLOGY UPGRADE

 

The Cabot Foundation, the charitable arm of Cabot Corporation, has donated $25,000 to the Evangeline Parish School Board to help fund the Information Technology upgrade in the Parish high schools.  This $960,000 program was approved by the EPSB last month. 

 

“This technology upgrade will provide the high schools with greater computer access to meet the emerging equipment and infrastructure needs.  In addition, it will  help support the demand for technology due to the increasing mandates for computer based testing including the ACT college preparation exam,” said Connie Bertand, Instructional Technology Facilitator for the Parish. 

 

“Providing students with the access to technology to enhance the learning process is the future of education,” said Cabot Facility General Manager, Mark Suellentrop. “Our hope is that this technology will provide the necessary tools for students and teachers to be productive and further enable the Parish school to meet its goals and prepare their students for the future.”

 

This grant will be supported with funds from the Parish School Board and E-Rate which is a federal funding program.  Superintendent Toni Hamlin stated that the Cabot grant reduced the amount of funding required by the Parish and enabled this project to move forward.

 

Cabot is committed to supporting outreach activities in local communities where Cabot operates, such as Ville Platte Louisiana. Cabot Corporate Giving strategy is designed to support Cabot's community outreach activities, with priority given to science and technology education and community and civic improvement efforts in the communities where we operate.  In 1953, Cabot Corporation Foundation, Inc. was established to support qualified charitable, non-profit organizations in the United States. The Foundation's charter was amended in 1992 to permit grants to qualified charitable organizations outside of the United States. Cabot Corporation also makes contributions to organizations under certain circumstances.

On April 12, 2012, Detectives with Evangeline Parish Sheriff’s Department were able to dismantle a theft ring and recovered a total of five ATVs, four zero turn lawn tractors, one utility trailer and one Arctic Cat side-by-side ATV.  Detectives found David Crader from Eunice Louisiana, in possession of two ATVs, which were reported stolen from two separate residences in Evangeline Parish.  Detectives were able to identify another person of interest associated with the ATVs, who led detectives to the recovery of two zero turn lawn tractors, reported stolen from Evangeline Parish and an Arctic Cat side-by-side ATV reported stolen from St. Landry Parish.  A joint investigation between Evangeline Parish Sheriff’s Department, St. Landry Parish Sheriff’s Department and Louisiana State Police Auto Theft Division led investigators to Baton Rouge, Lavonia and False River, where numerous items stolen from Evangeline Parish were recovered.  The information received led Detectives to Travis James Soileau from Grand Prairie Louisiana.  Detectives were able to determine that Travis Soileau scoped the residences, in Evangeline Parish, then with the assistance of two juveniles, would remove ATV’s and lawn tractors from the property of the unsuspecting owners.  Soileau would then transport the stolen machinery outside of Evangeline Parish, where it would be resold.  Warrants for the arrest of Travis Soileau have been issued for seven counts of burglary, eight counts of felony theft and 16 counts of contributing to the delinquency of juveniles.  Soileau is currently incarcerated in St. Landry Parish and is awaiting transfer to Evangeline Parish for said charges.  Additional charges are pending the outcome of the investigation and additional arrests are probable.
