The L-P School Foundation approved its first Teacher Mini-Grants in 2017. These grants, in the maximum amount of $1,000, are offered to educators of students from the L-P School District. Grant funds must be used for materials, equipment, or other classroom expenses that are not supported by the school budget.
Grants are awarded on a competitive basis, with applications judged on their ability to make a meaningful impact in the educational process. Grant recipients must provide follow-up reporting, describing the results of the program or project, and accounting for the expenditures of all grant funds.
