Multiple grants can be submitted by each grade so long as they fall within the budgeted amount, but they should only be submitted by the lead teacher.
We recommend that the designated grant amount per grade level benefit the entire grade level.
Grants are to be approved by the principal to ensure other sources of funding are not available or appropriate.
A request for a grant cannot include trainings or travel expenses.
Checks will no longer be administered without first attempting to have PTO purchase the item(s). This is in order to have PTO file necessary receipts/paperwork for annual audit.
Grant money cannot be rolled over to a subsequent school year. All grant requests must be submitted by February 6, 2026. Any remaining grant money will be forfeited.
All items purchased become the property of HCE PTO and are to stay at the site for which the items were purchased. Books/publications should be registered through the HCE Library.
