A note from the NMPED Community Schools Team:
The true essence of this grant is to provide support for a strategy of a new way of doing school. It takes time and intention for whole school transformation. This application should be a self-reflection and an honest picture of where your school is at in the transformation process. If your school has gaps in the strategy, be honest so that PED can provide support for your school. This application process is not just about receiving funding, but also creating a technical assistance plan for your success.
A one-year, one time planning grant of up to $50,000 for each eligible public school
Annual implementation grants of $150,000 each year for a period of 3 years for each eligible school
