Funding education through grants - reaction to article.
Milner, Jacob. Winter 2007 Are you Missing Out? Interactive Educator Vol.3 No.1:40-41.
Mr. Milner recognizes the abilities of Stan Levenson to secure funding for schools available through the grant writing process. From the point of view of a small rural school, schools face problems with the criteria for grants, the lengthy writing process, and the specificity of the grant. It is unfortunate for schools because grant awards could suppliment the budget. Schools with limited funds are not able to support personnel to complete the current lengthy grant writing process with a hope of receiving grant funds. If schools could submit a letter of interest for the funding and the money divided by student population more schools would qualify and have the use off funds to support identified initiatives.

I agree with the problems associated with the grant writing process. I have often found grants that I am interested in, but just do not have the time (or sometimes the correct knowledge) to write the application. If there is someone available to assist teachers in the grant-writing process, that would be very beneficial.
I must say that I am please to see you have a blog. I think you could use it as a great tool for our school district! I know my students really enjoy using mine!
