"Imagination is more important than knowledge.  For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand".
Albert Einstein

What is an Innovation Grant?
An innovation grant is proposed by a District 300 educator in March of each year and they are awarded in April of each year for the next school year. 

The grant must be unique and never done before.

The grant must be innovative with clear goals aligned with State Education Standards.

It must be measurable.

An innovation grant is up to $500.

As are all of our grants none of the grant money is used to pay teachers stipends.
