Arlington Education Foundation (AEF) has committed more than $155,000 in support of an Arlington Public Schools' distinct vision and strategic-planning grant, in addition to  many programs that will enhance learning at the elementary, middle and high school levels.  

An investment grant for $117,400 was awarded to the public schools for district vision and planning.  AEF, in collaboration with Envision Arlington, supports new school superintendent, Dr. Elizabeth Homan, as she leads the district through a strategic planning process that will enable identification of priority initiatives over the next five years. 

This grant allows the district to retain an external facilitator to engage a diverse group of APS staff, town leaders, community members and students on the visioning process. Work on the five-year district plan will begin as early as this month.

Two development and expansion grants, in the amount of $27,795 were awarded to projects that will enhance hands-on and creative learning for students at all elementary schools and at AHS.

Seven innovations in education grants, in the amount of $11,830, were awarded for projects spanning classrooms in elementary, middle, and high school.

The Arlington Education Foundation is committed to enhancing teaching and learning in all of Arlington’s public schools.  Through charitable donations and business sponsorships, the foundation grants over $100,000 annually.  To learn more or apply for a grant, visit www.aefma.org.
