PIE Grant
PIE Grant Program applications are due by Friday, October 13, 2017.

The Roseville City School District (RCSD) Foundation established the Partners in Education (PIE) Grant Program to encourage, facilitate, recognize, and reward innovative and creative teaching approaches which increase student achievement and enhance educational opportunities in classrooms and at school sites. The RCSD Foundation's mission focuses on STEAM: Science, technology, engineering, arts, and math enrichment.

Preference will be given to those applicants who request funding for any of these areas.

The RCSD Foundation will award grants up to $750 per individual teacher or $2,000 per grade level or departmental team.

PIE Grant Program recipients agree to attend the November 2, 2017, Board meeting in order to receive your grant allocation, and the May 31, 2018, Board meeting in order to report the results of your student work.

If you have any questions regarding the PIE Grant Program or application process, please email Renee Borowiak.
