FUNCTION 4: COLLABORATION
PARTNERSHIPS:
A school leverages other grants from
local, state, or federal sources.
The district uses its Learn and Serve
grant to allocate mini-grants to
teachers in its schools, and
supplements this pool with matching
mini-grant funds. The district writes
and manages other grants to support
service-learning.
The state leverages funds from other
federally-funded educational
programs, such as Goals 2000, “title”
programs, and school-to-work.
STAGES OF INSTITUTIONALIZATION
Supplemental funding is not
necessary; if it is, the school uses its
existing budget, supplemented by
student and parent fund raising efforts.
The district funds service-learning as a
line item in its annual operating
budget, and leverages support from
major community businesses and
foundations.
The state allocates resources from its
general fund and leverages major
corporate and/or private philanthropic
commitments.
