IH PTSA Staff Grant and Special Funding Request Process

 

 

General Information

Issaquah High School PTSA is pleased to contribute a substantial portion of its yearly budget to funding teacher needs as well as activities, clubs and the extended needs of our students.  The funding process takes two forms.

 

1)  Teacher grants:  Each full time teacher, specialist, counselor and librarian is eligible for a $100 grant and each part time teacher is eligible for a $50 grant.  Part time is defined as .6 or less, teaching 3 or fewer classes per day at IHS.  This money is spent at the teacher’s discretion.

 

2)  Special Funding Requests:  Funding for specific needs that exceed the funds available from teacher grants.

 

 

Timetable

Teacher grants are paid as a reimbursement upon submittal of a Reimbursement Form and receipts.  The reimbursements can be made in increments throughout the year or as a lump sum.  All reimbursement requests for teacher grants must be submitted to the principal’s secretary by April 30th.  Any funds not used from teacher grants will be rolled into special request funding May 1st.

 

Special Funding Requests will be approved at PTSA meetings in October, January, March and May.  For a request to be considered for funding it must be submitted to the PTSA by the 15th of the previous month.  Special funding requests must have the approval of the principal prior to being submitted to the PTSA.

Priority

Approval of Special Funding Requests will be made based on the following criteria in the specified order:

1)  IHS Classroom Based Activities

2)  IHS Activities and Clubs

3)  School Wide Needs

In addition, each of the special funding requests may be evaluated based on the following:

·         Consideration of Other Sources of Revenue

·         Use of Teacher Grants

 

 

A finite amount of money will be allocated to each funding cycle based on a percentage of the total special funding request budget amount.  The special funding request budget will be allocated as follows:  October, January and March at 30% and May at 10%.  Any money remaining from a funding period will be rolled into the next period.  Requests that are declined due to lack of funds can be submitted again at a future date.
