Description
The Wyoming Department of Education administers this competitive grant through the Wyoming Trust Fund for Innovative Education. It supports new, innovative, and improved educational opportunities at all grade levels, including curriculum development, operational initiatives, administrator and staff development, and technological equipment. Districts may propose projects individually or collaborate with other districts and educational institutions.
The program prioritizes projects that can transfer to other districts, attract matching funds from non-state sources, and remain sustainable after grant funding ends. Computer science and open educational resources are additional competitive priorities: applications featuring either as a main component receive higher points, although these priorities are not required.
