A Fairy Tale

ONCE UPON A TIME...

There was a Technology teacher in a far away land that taught the King's subjects all about the latest technology which made it the most advanced and wealthy kingdom in all the land.

The Kingdom was so technologically advanced because of the teacher that it was the most prosperous of all.

Then one day the King decided that the Technology teacher should teach something else, something they had not taught before.

Alas, the teacher did not know what to do because he had not the tools nor the materials required to teach this new subject.

He even asked the King for materials and supplies so he could be the best teacher possible but was told...

NO GOLD FOR YOU!

You must "Figure it out" Yourself or else...

your annual evaluation would be in jeopardy.

What should the teacher do?

Then appears

TYPES OF Funding

Federal education funding is the financial support the federal government provides to educational institutions and programs in the United States. The purpose of this funding is to improve the quality, access, and equity of education. Regional education funding is a part of the financial support that governments and local councils provide to educational institutions, students, and families. Local educational funding sources often account for as much revenue as state contributions. These funds are typically drawn from property taxes.

Hello Mr. Tech Teacher, I'm the Digital Dragon and I will guide you on your journey to find what you need.

Local vs. Federal grants

Federal Grants

Local/Regional Grants

• Provide much more funding to local Governments that can trickle dow to local communities.
• Can provide much needed infrastructure upgrades that local grants cannot.
• Can provide funds needed to make exceptional change and impact a greater number of students.

• Provide more focus to the needs of the local community.
• Provides more flexibility in addressing challenges unique to a State or community.
• Diversity in a local community may require different needs based on demographics.
