Through grant initiatives, the District seeks funding for effective programs that enhance student achievement, advance school improvement plans, and support district initiatives.

These pages provide a quick and easy overview of a few of the grant funding opportunities currently available for individual teachers or school sites. These grants have been selected based on district needs, district eligibility, consistency with Board policy and goals, and interest to educators.
