Decatur Public Schools Foundation

Do you know any first-year teachers in Decatur Public Schools?

The Decatur Public Schools Foundation is committed to supporting newly graduated teachers (and support staff) in District 61 through a grant of $50. These small grant checks are sent directly to the new teacher to assist in setting up their first classroom. New teachers can apply by filling out the grant application, calling our office at 217-362-3042, or emailing Zach at [email protected]. https://www.dps61.org/cms/lib/IL01000592/Centricity/Domain/24/First-Year%20Teacher%20Grants.pdf
