Dysart Education Foundation supports teachers!

---

Any current Dysart teacher or group of teachers may apply for funds. The primary applicant should be the individual with the primary responsibility for executing the project and reporting the results to the Foundation Board. 

Laird Teacher Mini-Grants will be awarded for up to $2000 each and may involve one class or any combination of students and teachers. To be accepted, the grant applications must be approved by the teacher and the school principal. The Dysart Unified District Office will review each grant to ensure compatibility with district goals and curricula. 

Grant applications must be generated using the approved application form. The review panel will select awards based on originality, professionalism, established need, benefits to students, student involvement, appropriate age level, and budget details. Each category is equally important. Recipients must submit a brief written report on their project to the DEF president within 30 days of the completion of the school year. Failure to submit a report within the time limit could result in loss of future mini-grant awards.
