Grants to school for expenses: - leader in me - supports costs associated with school's participation in the franklin covey program for schools. - teacher supply restock - mid-year restock for miscellaneous items needed for classroom teachers - school support - a combination of various small support needs throughout the year that don't fit in the other categories, including one big support item per year.
