“Riverview education foundation (ref) representatives meet annually with riverview school district (rsd) staff to identify district funding priorities for the following school year. These district funding priorities guide refs fundraising efforts for the year. In instances where a particular district funding initiative is identified, ref may perform targeted fundraising around the initiative and the initiative may be promoted at ref events. Classroom and school enrichment grants: ref classroom and school enrichment grants support a broad range of projects and materials that enhance the district curriculum and actively engage students in learning. Three types of grants are awarded: general grants, health and wellness grants and technology grants. Teachers, staff, parents and students may apply. Parent and student applications must have a school staff sponsor and all grants must be approved by the principal of the schools involved. Additionally, all technology grants must be approved by the rsd director of technology. Individual classroom grants will be awarded up to 1,000. All other grants (e.g. Whole school or program, whole grade level, and department-wide) will be awarded up to 3,000. Grant criteria: enrichment grants are based strictly on merit. Priority will be given to projects that: stimulate learning and enhance or expand the school curriculum support innovative teaching methods possess a high degree of active student engagement maximize the number of students involved introduce useful supplies/resources to the school have potential for repetition or can be adapted to other classes/groups health and wellness grants are held to the same criteria as the general grants, but also must support or promote the physical, nutritional, or emotional health and wellness of riverview students. Preference is given to projects implemented during school hours, but exceptional extracurricular proposals are also considered. Grant restrictions: the ref classroom and school enrichment grant program does not fund: staff salaries, substitute or release time projects, materials or programs not consistent with the goals of the riverview school district.”
