Hello Chandra Pieragostini she/her/hers Lyruc Stage Co

Do schools have to fill out the survey if an individual is applying?

Thank you for your question Magalie! I will bookmark this message to be addressed at the end of the presentation.

Can you send a document with all questions to us in advance? We can only see one page at a time without submitting information, knowing in advance what we need will help expedite this process for us/applicants.

Is there a Word/PDF version of the Google Form? (Not because I need to submit it that way, but because it would be helpful to see all the questions at once - right now, each page has to be completed before the next can be viewed)

(Asking for SAI and CCL applications)

^^

Lindsay and I think alike :)

Hi Magalie, great question -- yes, we do ask that BPS Certified Arts Teachers have their school complete the survey. Same with Teaching artists teaching long-term residencies at a BPS school.Datasheets with up-to-date school survey info are available at the bottom of this page: https://www.edvestors.org/bps-arts-expansion/

For Career Connected Learning, in order to be eligible d you need to meet all three criteria (WBL, Collaborative Instruction and Credential Preparation)?

Ha, Meg!!!

Thank you for your questions! For accessibility purposes, we will provide a Word document with all the questions on the application.

Lindsay - there’s a link I missed underneath the link to the google for - that has what we’re asking for!

Thanks Derek.

Great, thanks!

(I used my “good reading eyes” this time….)

If orgs request a two-year grant, is it safe to assume we wouldn’t need to reapply for FY/SY23, yes? We’d be good through to June 2023?

Hi Lizzy - for the Career-Connected Learning grants, you would choose one of the 3 criteria

Are these questions similar for the Individual Arts Educator grant?

Thanks Derek!

Can the school OR the arts partner complete this application? Or does it have to be the school?

Is there a resource of schools looking for arts partners?

For 2 year funding, is the maximum grant award amount adjusted?

Michelle -- The Individual Arts Educator grant form is shorter and a bit more straight forward.Asks about your art discipline(s), bio/resume, and type of grant (PD, Materials + Supplies, or a Combo).Then there are some short answer responds about the nature of the PD or why the materials/supplies would be helpful.here's the doc for the Individual Arts Educator Grant: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18S6Pu7JDTMOMH788_wn-lnHNEVwiOlBi/view

One more question about Career Connected Learning: Does the learning need to happen during school hours?

we will also be sure to share all docs/links in a follow-up email

Happy to help abeatrice2@bostonpublicschools.org

etoledo@bostonpublicschools.org

If it’s a two-year grant is it potentially $30K or would it be $15K split over two years?

Yes - so the max option is still $15K (not $30K)
