This marks the second consecutive year that the BISD Education Foundation’s Prize Patrol traveled around the district awarding
Grants for Great Ideas to some amazing educators, administrators, librarians and support staff! This year, the Foundation awarded $50,000 in grant funds to 13 grant recipients. The Foundation received 24 grant applications in the fall, and spent two months reviewing and scoring these grants. All grants received were innovative and creative, and worthy of funding. It is the Foundation Board’s hope that someday they will have the funds to award ALL of the great ideas in BISD.
These 2017 grant awards will impact every campus in BISD, either directly or indirectly. Here are this year’s grant winners:
