Flexible Seating Mini Grants

We are very excited to begin the process of offering some opportunity for flexible seating mini-grants.  Through various grant opportunity and new adoption funds, we are able to offer some funding for flexible seating.  If you have identified a learner need in your classroom for some alternative learning spaces and furniture please consider using this link to apply for a flexible seating min-grant.  Once staff apply, a team of educators will review the grants and select those that may be funded as soon as this Spring.  Thank you!
