A qualifying teacher is one who has an Education Degree in the designated area. A teacher who has a degree in Art, Music, Drama or Dance and who is currently working on Education Certification may receive the grant money with this committee’s approval. Schools with part-time programs may receive prorated grants. The Grants Committee can elect to make exception if money is available and a special need arises.
The School Grant money will be awarded to the schools with certified programs on a rotating basis. Music/Band on odd years, Visual Arts and Drama on even years.
The money will be sent directly to the teacher. After having received grant money, the teacher will be required to fill out a form of accountability along with an invoice/purchase order.
Local schools are asked to write a Mini Grant requesting a maximum of $500.00. The deadline for receiving these requests is October 1st.
