School Improvement Fund

The School Improvement fund consists of $50,000 that has been set aside for the PTO to fund capital projects at the school.  The PTO has developed a process that welcomes input and ideas generated by teachers and parents to determine what capital projects the PTO will begin in the 2010-2011 school year. 

  • Parents and staff members with capital improvement ideas can submit a PTO Project Submission Form by OCTOBER 1, 2010.
  • Projects can be of any scope and dollar amount, but must be of long term benefit to Douglass Elementary and its students. 
  • The PTO Board will review all proposals and decide by NOVEMBER 15, 2010 which projects will receive funding.

Douglass Parents,

We had an overwhelming response to the PTO's recent capital projects survey!  We want to thank all of you who took the time to complete it and provide comments.  The data we collected was extremely valuable.  The 17 PTO voting members used this information (as one of four criteria) to help determine their votes on the list of capital projects being considered for funding with the School Improvement Fund (SIF).

The PTO vote was held last week, and each project was considered based on its own merits, knowing that all costs are estimates and further due diligence and refinements will occur before commencing work on any project.
