Teacher Grants
At the Foundation we are always looking for new and interesting ways to integrate technology into SBS.
Every purchase starts with a grant submission from an individual teacher, groups of teachers or the administration. Each submission is reviewed and voted on by the Foundation trustees.
We generally send out a formal request for grant submissions in March/April, which then get reviewed and approved in May/June and are purchased and use in the following school year.
However, if you have a good idea submit it at anytime.
