*Updated May 2020*

CPSF Created a Professional Development Grant Program

1. Perfect their craft
2. Sharpen their expertise
3. Infuse our system with fresh ideas and techniques

2. Enroll in a summer course relating to his or her field
3. Attend a seminar or workshop to learn a new classroom technique or delivery system

While this application is open year round, it is preferred that professional development applications be submitted in accordance with the fall and spring classroom grant deadlines when possible.

If a teacher is awarded a grant and resigns from Clinton Schools or changes to a position where the grant is no longer relevant BEFORE the grant is utilized, the teacher must inform the CPSF Executive Director of this change at once.  The teacher and his or her principal must see that funds are returned to CPSF.  If funds have already been spent, the school principal may select another teacher to utilize the professional development opportunity in the vacating teacher’s place.

​Teachers who have received a grant must fill out the Post Grant Review after the grant facilitation is complete.
