Peter Kirk Elementary PTSA offers five types of grants: 

• Classroom Grant: Intended for teachers to use for classroom supplies, decorations, books, etc. and is awarded to all teachers and specialists at the beginning of each school year and reimbursed upon required reimbursement filing of a Treasurer’s Request (TR) with receipts for purchases. Amounts are as follows: $300 (full-time), $150 (part-time), or $400 (full-time, new)
• Continuing Education Grant: Intended to support teachers and teaching staff with the pursuit of furthering their individual education to better support students. They are given on a first come basis with the submission of a Teacher Continuing Education application and review by the SAGA Committee. $650 per teacher per year, with a school limit of $3900. 
• Program Grant: Regular, annual, expected “single item” grant funded through an approved budget line item (e.g. assemblies; Enrichment Grant by Grade Level, Nature Vision; IXL Math; etc.). These require an application and review each year by the SAGA Committee and approval by the PTSA Board of Directors and Membership. 
• One-time Grant: These are awarded based on criteria and available funds. In the case of a budget surplus, additional one-time grants may be allocated. They require an application and review each year by the SAGA Committee and approval by the PTSA Board of Directors and Membership. 
• Surplus Grant: In exceptional cases, our PTSA might have an opportunity to make a one-time grant allocation from surplus, unallocated funds. This would be money that was not part of the current year’s budget and would require an application and review by the SAGA Committee and approval by the PTSA Board of Directors and Membership. 
• SAGA Books Grant: This grant provides funds for teachers to enhance their classroom libraries with new books. Educators can apply for up to $100 to purchase books, with a total school limit of $2,500. A simple application process allows teachers to submit their book selections, which the PTSA will then purchase and deliver to their classrooms. These books become a permanent part of the classroom collection as long-term checkouts, allowing for integration into curriculum and reading activities. This grant is offered on a first-come, first-served basis until the funding limit is reached. 

• SAGA Books Grant: Each educator can apply for up to $100 to be used for purchasing books, up to a cumulative $2,500 school limit.
• Simple Application: Just fill out a quick and easy application form with your book selections.
• PTSA Purchases: The PTSA will purchase the books and deliver them to your classroom for long-term check-out after the new books have been inventoried through the school library. Each book will have a label indicating it was purchased by the PTSA.
• Long-Term Classroom Checkout: Though these books will be property of Peter Kirk Elementary, they are considered long-term checkouts by your classroom, allowing you to integrate them into your curriculum and classroom library. Simply return them to the library when you depart the school.
• $2,500 School Limit: This fantastic opportunity is available until the $2,500 budget is reached on a first come, first serve basis, so submit your application soon!
