The U.S. Department of Education is funneling more than $350,000 into Renaissance Academy High School to help students recover from the stabbing death of a student in a classroom last year. The West Baltimore school received a Project School Emergency Response to Violence (SERV) grant, which the department said would help the school hire additional staff, including more mentors for its highly praised "Seeds of Promise" mentoring program that supports its majority African-American male, population in one of the city's most violent neighborhoods.
