The mission of the Cedar Hill ISD Education Foundation is "To support education by providing resources to inspire staff and impact student lives". We have provided over $1,000,000 in support for CHISD programming. Of that, over $180,000 has been provided in the last year. We have funded special projects such as over $41,000 for new playground equipment at Waterford Oaks Elementary, over $21,500 for $50 Classroom Grants for supplies in the classroom to every Teacher in the district, and $97,000 for Fine Arts needs throughout the district.
The foundation is currently reviewing 2023-2024 applications for Teacher Grants and Campus Grants and accepting Mini-Grant applications for smaller requests that need a quick response. These grants allow our teachers to introduce new methods or instructional assets into the classroom or otherwise enrich the learning environment. As of this writing, we have received applications that exceed our current grant budget. Our NTGD results will directly impact our ability to increase our grant budget.
