Teacher Grants

We are committed to excellence in educational opportunities for all students through enhancement of school facilities, services, and programs. We make a difference through teacher grants that provide a wide range of classroom supplies, field trips, and other tools to help students succeed.

 

These grants are available to schools, grade levels, departments, teachers, or other groups of educators within Pittsburg Community Schools, and are intended to be supplementary to the curriculum or co-curricular activities of the district.

​

Details

  • We annually allocate approximately $20,000 to fund teacher grants.

  • Grants may be given to schools, grade levels, departments, classrooms, or a group of USD 250 educators.

  • Grant requests should align with the curricular goals of the district.

  • They must be submitted by 5 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6, 2024.

  • They may be submitted for any amount up to $1,500.

  • Each elementary school will be automatically granted $500 for field trips; there is no need to apply for them.

  • Grants will not be awarded for large technology projects; those are funded through the district.
