What is the PTSA Grant Program?
The Cazenovia HS PTSA Grant Program supports student learning in the classroom and beyond by funding materials, projects, and experiences beyond the basics provided by Cazenovia School District. The Grant Program prioritizes those requests that benefit the largest number of students possible or to meet a community identified need otherwise unmet by district resources.
Where Do Grant Funds Come From?
The PTSA raises money through its events and programs. Each year the PTSA budgets a certain amount of the proceeds for the Grant Program. The PTSA only puts a specified amount of money into these grant programs each year. When the money is gone for that academic year, it is not possible to replenish the fund. The 2023-2024 Grant Program has a proposed budget of $800.
Who Can Apply for Grants?
Teachers and staff may apply for multiple grants. Any individual member of the Cazenovia High School staff or team of educators may apply. All teachers – including first year teachers – are encouraged to apply.
Grant requests should provide a beneficial impact to a wide range of students (e.g., an entire grade, multiple grades, the whole school) and a long-term or sustainable benefit to the school. Grants can be used to enrich classroom learning, support cultural arts program, school visits, technology enhancements and items and activities that benefit a large number of students. The Grants cannot be used to pay for items already purchased, something that will only benefit a small number of students or an individual teacher, capital expenses, IEP materials, professional memberships, or curriculum materials which are the responsibility of Cazenovia School district.
The PTSA Grant Program Committee believes the teachers and administration are the experts in what they need to enrich the students’ learning experience. The PTSA Grant Program Committee works with the school to determine grant awards three times per year.
