MVHS PTSA MINI-GRANT INFORMATION
Each year, the MVHS PTSA supports teacher requests or mini-grants to purchase classroom supplies or items needed to enhance the environment for our teachers and students. We invite proposals that will expand and enrich the MVHS students' experience. Mini-grants are awarded on a first come first serve basis, and subject to the availability of funds.
Grant Application Request:
- Must be a current member of the MVHS PTSA (Join here)
- Must obtain approval from the principal
- Must complete and submit a grant application to MVHS PTSA
Grant Application Consideration:
- Must benefit a large segment of general MVHS students or a sub-set of MVHS students, special population, or address closing the achievement gap in the MVHS community
- Must be used towards school development, professional development, or school programs
- Staff may make one (1) request/school year
- If approved, all funds must be spent as stated in the request
- If approved, staff must submit receipts to PTSA Treasurer for proper reimbursement
- Mini-grants cannot be requested for athletics team-related requests, as these requests are considered through the MVHS Boosters Club
- Mini-grants cannot be awarded for fundraising projects or to benefit charities outside of MVHS
- Mini-grants cannot be awarded for school or class ‘spirit’ events
- Mini-grants cannot be used for activities or events that would largely benefit an individual, whether staff, student, or family
- Mini-grants funds cannot be used for incentives for a teacher/staff member participating in a project/event
- Items purchased with PTSA funds will remain at MVHS, or be returned to the PTSA unless the PTSA board approves of other arrangements
Grant Application Approval:
- The MVHS Executive Board will review mini-grant requests, and notify the teacher/staff of the outcome of the mini-grant submission.
