LOCAL ONLY — Rochester Public Schools Staff. These grants support innovative projects that introduce new teaching methods, programs, or infrastructure within Rochester Public Schools, serving as seed money rather than ongoing funding. Projects should demonstrate the ability to achieve stated goals and objectives, enriching student learning district-wide. Funds cannot be used for seminars, college courses, workshops, compensation for public school personnel (except for a teacher supervising students in grant-related activities), substitute teachers (unless supervising students), or food (unless integral to the grant).
