The Foundation grants are awarded for instructional materials, teaching aids, campus projects, district initiatives and other items that can be used to expand the learning opportunities of the existing school curriculum.

Proposals may be made by any LTISD employee including teachers or a team of teachers, department heads, campus principal or assistant principal, or by administration. LTEF-funded programs should enhance, but not duplicate, the approved curriculum.

We encourage innovative, creative ideas that fall outside the ordinary school budget, yet promise to augment the curricula in a meaningful way.
