Format of Project Overview
It is expected that the projects and field trips will take place after the 1 st of the year, sometime during second semester. Therefore, we are expecting to mail out grant checks before the winter break. The checks will be sent to the teachers with copies of the grant agreement that needs to be signed by you and your principal and returned to CCF. Checks will be made out to the schools, not teachers.
The staff will answer questions of the participants.
