Every year, the Hamilton Southeastern Schools Foundation goes before the school board and announces the winners of grants handed out by the non-profit organization. In 2020, the foundation handed out 31 grants for projects throughout the local school district.
Foundation Executive Director Justin Hirnisey told the board there were four themes in making grant decisions this time around:
- Virtual Reality
- Mindfulness
- Connecting cultures
- Innovation in STEM
Of all applications submitted by teachers and students, 86 percent were approved. Grant decisions were made by a selection committee consisting of staff, educators, student board members and community members.
