Deborah Morgan understands the spirit of giving. As office administrator for the DeSoto County Foundation for Excellence in Education , her job is all about receiving donations and giving to others. The foundation receives and maintains private funds to be used exclusively for education purposes, specifically grants to classroom teachers.
The fund's initial $3.3 million comes from the AFT and five prominent private philanthropic foundations; die money will support grants for education initiatives in which teachers unions and their partners will collaborate to improve schools, teaching and learning. Each affiliate's winning project, selected from a field of more than 120 proposals, showcases "public school entrepreneurs who want to push the envelope to improve student learning" and represent "bottom-up reform at its best," AFT president Randi Weingarten said at a media event to announce the first round of grant recipients.
Despite a dicey economy, more than $65,000 in direct grants to DeSoto County teachers through the Foundation for Excellence in Education will be announced Sept. 26 - and it's not too late to boost the total or apply for the grants. The foundation will be accepting donations in any monetary amount for teacher grants through August 30," manager Deborah Morgan said Monday.
