Money available for education programs

Find the right grant to match your needs
How do you find the money you need to finance your education programs? Federal funding provided for many programs often falls short of actual needs. Luckily, there are many additional grant and funding sources available to districts and schools. Finding the right grant to meet your needs can be a difficult and exhaustive search. The TransACT team has compiled some resources to help you get started. |

 Western Region Update
by Hilary Shirey
California districts have begun to have their compliance with parent translation requirements scrutinized more than ever before. The imminent budget crisis in California has made it even more difficult to meet these requirements. Santa Clara Unified School District has found a way not only to get the parent notices needed, but to so at a discounted price.

September 14th
What was your favorite subject in school?
English!! I'm one of the weird ones that loved writing essays and editing them.
What aspect of working at TransACT do you enjoy the most?
I love doing a job that is customer and detail oriented. At TransACT I get to accomplish both in many ways.
When do you feel successful in life?
I feel successful in life when I go home after a busy day at work and my son yells "Ma Ma", falls off the couch (he's learned not to be fazed by falling, he gets his clumsiness from me) and tries to run towards me.
Outside of work, what do you enjoy?
I love spending time with my 15 month old son and my husband. We like to go to the movies and barbeque.
Whom do you admire most?
I would have to say my mom. She has done an amazing job raising my brother and I on her own and I hope to be a great mom like she is.
If you were not at TransACT, what would be your dream job?
I would love to be a designer for my own purse line, as well as open my own Bridal Gown Boutique. |
