Bright Ideas Become Reality
I wish
we could use this great idea to improve
the work environment, while also providing a learning
experience for our students.
 I
hope to
use the software a colleague talks about. A new
software program that would make our office much more
efficient.
I dream about a project that would expand our
skills and help our customers.
Bright ideas come to us in a flash.
Oftentimes, though, the funding and staff to
implement our bright ideas don't appear as readily as our good
ideas do. That's the reality of dedicating ourselves to
non-profit endeavors.
The solution?

Region BOCES Mini Grant Program
The Mini Grant Program provides
varying monetary
awards of up to $1,000 to cover the costs of projects and
initiatives that are suited to employees' unique professional
talents and the needs of BOCES. The grants are awarded
for both instructional and non-instructional projects.
So, if there's a workshop that would be
particularly helpful, if there are field trips or hands-on
learning experiences that would help your students, if there's
something that would make you more productive in your office
or classroom, think about applying for a BOCES Mini Grant.
Who can apply? Classroom-based staff
(certified and non-certified), itinerant staff, office staff,
custodians, coordinators, trainers, etc. In short,
anybody who works for BOCES.
