The PTSA allocates funds for Teacher Grants to support staff in acquiring additional classroom supplies that may not be funded by the school or the district. These supplies can include items like classroom equipment, books, magazines, sports equipment or miscellaneous materials. The grant application process involves multiple rounds of review and approval before it is awarded.  Teachers can apply for grants by contacting our grants team at grants@teslastemptsa.org
