Seeks a $30,000 Pacific Foundation Services grant for teacher training at Oakland Tech

The district is asking the board to approve applying for a $30,000 LIGHT Awards grant from Pacific Foundation Services. The money would pay for teacher professional development at Oakland Technical High School in community circle practices, interdisciplinary projects and writing across subjects. The goal is to help students meet the Graduate Capstone requirement and be ready for college and careers. This is an application, so the grant is not yet awarded.
