Details About This

program

In the tradition of the Ashwaubenon School District, this granting program supports the development and continuation of innovative opportunities to enhance student experiences in order to help them develop as model community and world citizens. This granting program is not meant to replace ongoing public support of education, but funds opportunities, materials, and experiences that go beyond the School District budget.

FUNDING PRIORITIES

  • Innovative classroom activities and other programming (such as arts programming) typically not supported by district funding.
  • Technology and learning projects designed to promote the use of cutting-edge technologies in teaching and learning that fit with the district’s technology plans and initiatives.
  • Business, civic, and community involvement that will promote the interaction of these groups with students.
  •  Professional training that will positively impact students.
  • Other areas not typically funded by the district, but consistent with district curricula and policies.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

  • Applications are accepted from any Ashwaubenon School District, parent, staff, or administrator, parent association, or community member partnered with professional School District staff.
  • All applicants must have the approval of their principal (or department head, as applicable).
  • Any school-related activity consistent with district curricula and policies qualifies, except existing activities funded by the School District.
