| Pre-Kindergarten-12th Grade | Provided grant funding for schools to increase school diversity through recruitment & support of diverse learners | The Progressive Redesign Opportunity Schools for Excellence (PROSE) used funding from the National Education Association to provide $750 mini-grants and an opportunity to apply for up to $5000 in mini grant funding to 10 schools who sought to increase diversity in their school communities. Many of these schools utilized this funding to provide planning time for school staff working on diversity issues, as well as to do additional recruitment and outreach to underrepresented populations through school fairs and direct communication to families. Additionally, schools also utilized this funding to better equip their schools to support diverse learners. Examples of these activities included full-day professional development and guest speakers. | Schools interested in additional supports for diverse learners and creating diverse schools |
