Grants are Open!
Hear ye! Hear ye! The grant application window has opened for the teachers and staff in Forney-ISD!! What does this mean, you ask? It means that the opportunity for the education professionals in FISD to request a grant that enhances the learning in their classrooms is open and ready to receive the ideas that teachers have discovered through experience in the classroom or attendance at a workshop. Then when the window closes on October 20, the Adopt-A-Grant window opens October 29-November 12 for YOU, the community, to peruse the grants and choose one to fund. Some of the community members choose grants that are at their child’s school and some community members choose grants that fund something they personally know would benefit students due to their own educational needs, e.g. reading help for someone dealing with dyslexia. The Grant Committee then receives the list of the rest of the grants not adopted for their perusal so they can then determine what grants to fund.
