The PTA offers a mini-grant program for all student support teaching staff. The grants can be used to offset costs for learning opportunities that fit within our magnet theme and mission. All grants require an application which is then reviewed by the PTA and Conn Administration for approval. Grants are awarded in amounts up to $500 per application. PTA membership is not required. Grant applications will be accepted through May 31, 2024.
Scoring & Review: The PTA mini-grant committee will review each application based on the following rubric: budget clarity; correlation of goals and objectives to magnet theme and student needs; reusability of materials; whether it meets the needs of a diverse population of students; and, if all other sources of PTA funding have been explored. Before finalizing the awardees, the principal will be consulted to ensure that requests for funding align to the School Improvement Plan, district focuses, and professional development goals. The principal will also confirm that the proposal is WCPSS approved.
Spending of Funds: It is very important to maintain a concise record of all receipts associated with program expenses. After approval, the PTA must be informed of any program changes prior to use of funds.
