FEDCO Classroom Enrichment Fund 2008 - 2009
For school districts in San Bernardino County and specified school districts

The FEDCO Charitable Foundation is providing grants for full-time public school
teachers serving students in grades Kindergarten through 12 in all school districts
in San Bernardino County and the following school districts in Los Angeles County:

Grants support hands-on, classroom, or “real-world” field trip projects
that “bring learning to life” and increase student academic achievement.
Grants are designed to encourage experiential learning, enhance student understanding,
and increase student achievement in relation to the curriculum standards in
one of the core subject areas of language arts, social studies, mathematics
and/or science.
Proposed projects must be submitted by a full-time teacher and may involve
museum or field trips, environmental or science projects, artistic or cultural
experiences, civics or community service projects, and the creation of a final
student product that promotes student learning. Grant funds may be used for
transportation, pre- or post-field trip materials, or other expenses specific
to the proposed project. Grant funds may not be used for the following: computer
hardware, salaries, video cameras, sectarian purposes, substitutes, field trips
to amusement parks, or for substituting existing funds that are available to
support similar services or third party payments. Teachers receiving FEDCO Classroom
Enrichment Funds during the 2007-2008 funding cycle will be assigned the lowest priority for funding in this cycle. No funds from FEDCO Classroom Enrichment Fund grants may be used
for institutional overhead costs.
