NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The board that oversees Tennessee's community colleges and technology colleges says seven schools are getting a total of more than $5.7 million for career and technical education programs.

In a news release this week, the Tennessee Board of Regents said the colleges are receiving the awards through the federal Perkins READI Grant program. READI stands for Recruit Engage And Develop for Innovation, the board said.
