Teacher and Staff Grants
As part of the PSO mission to provide enriching experiences that promote curiosity, creativity, and growth in our students, the PSO supports staff and teachers with funding in two ways:
The deadline for getting teacher reimbursements or grant requests is May 15th. Any grant requests received after this date will be voted on at the first PSO Board meeting in September.
The Grant Process document can be viewed here but requests are paperless via the Google Form linked above. Thank you! Please feel free to contact the treasurer at [email protected] with any questions.
- The PSO has allocated $250 per teacher for the school year to be used at the teacher’s discretion for classroom expenses.
- Reimbursement Request must be filled out and a receipt is required with the amount clearly indicated and must have dates on receipts. You have until December 15th for the first half of the year and May 15th for the second of the year to submit receipts (meaning anything purchased in those time period). Please reach out to both the Treasurer and Chair if you have questions.
- The PSO has a grant program for special projects that would exceed $250. Process for grant request:
- Submit Grant Request Form which will be forwarded to the School Principal for review and approval.
- If approved by the School Principal the request will be discussed at the next scheduled board meeting. (The PSO board meets on a monthly basis approx one week before the general meeting. General meetings take place on the 3rd Wednesday of every other month. Please be advised the board may ask for a meeting to answer any questions on the grant especially if the grant is for more than $450. If unable to meet the grant approval will be delayed. )
- The board may approve all or part of the funds. PLEASE DO NOT PREPURCHASE anything over $450 without speaking to the PSO Board first.
- You will be notified once the board has made a decision for your request.
- If approved, you can purchase then complete a Reimbursement Request and provide a receipt, or the treasurer can coordinate with you and make the purchase for you. All receipts must be submitted by either December 15th for the first half of the year and May 15th for the second half of the year.
