    1. No current EEF grant proposals i.e. field trips but most purchases have been covered mostly through school’s budget already
    2. $5,000 max – every year, we have applied for this and we have gotten funded (field trips usually)
    3. Laura – possible field trip with construction, water, lots of opportunity for cross/multi-discipline experiences
    4. Possibly classroom libraries?
    5. Reminder to staff needed, so we can meet next round’s deadline (in fall)
    6. https://eeflane.org/2020-21-grant-application-cycle/

  3. Election planning

    2. Timing of elections – how to include kinder parents plus get parents engaged early. Fall = parent voting/interest
