After awarding 25 Rapid Response Grants to support classroom instruction during the pandemic, the Kokomo Public Schools Education Foundation awarded an additional $5,700 in teacher mini-grants to fund creative classroom projects.
More than 10 Kokomo School Corporation educators, representing five district schools, received grants during the fall mini-grant distribution cycle. The Education Foundation Board of Directors semi-annually (each semester) awards teacher enhancement mini-grants worth as much as $1,000 to Kokomo School Corporation teachers. In the past decade, the Foundation has written grant checks to Kokomo Schools teachers for more than $50,000. This fund is supported by donations.
The teachers who earned the fall 2020 mini-grants were awarded checks during American Education Week.
