Funds and Grants

Critical Needs Fund
When the spread of COVID-19 required schools to close, IoE jumped into action. We created our Critical Needs Fund to support students, families, and schools through four focus areas.

Student Academic Support Fund
To adapt and respond to extraordinary student needs, IoE transitioned our long-standing Opportunity Fund into a new Student Academic Support Fund.

Classroom Innovation Grants
This competitive grant program funds the most impactful and innovative experiences and lessons created by BVSD teachers.

Music Education Grants
In collaboration with Pathways to Jazz, we fund the urgent needs of music educators in our community. Recipients bring their new and innovative ideas to classrooms and share them.

Opportunity Fund
Created to reduce economic barriers to academic opportunities, this fund ensures access regardless of income to vital academic opportunities for all BVSD students by covering the expenses of things like class fees.

Literacy Fund
We are accelerating the pace of professional development and ensuring that interventionists and teachers are trained and prepared to help students with dyslexia prior to the start of the 2020-21 school year.
