This Google Form allows you to choose a date and time that works best for you and your team. We would love to meet and discuss more and for your team to enjoy lunch on us as we meet together.
What You'll Learn:
- Benefits of the RUS-DLT Grant: Discover how this funding can enhance your district's technology needs, including robust panel and camera systems.
- Benefits of the COPS-SVPP Grant: Learn how this school safety funding can provide for critical technology such as door access controls, security cameras, campus-wide intercom, emergency notification systems (including phones), and more.
- Funding Competitiveness: Receive tips to boost your district's chances based on community rurality and economic need. Your district is well-positioned for success!
- Application Process: Understand the steps to apply and what to expect.
- Peers Experiences: Hear from your peers about their experience with these grants by working with eCare.
These grant opportunities have the power to transform communities, and eCare has years of experience in helping organizations acquire this funding. We are FOCUSED on making school districts aware of these grants and connecting you with resources who can help with the application process.

Encourage families to sign up for free and reduced meals if their financial situation has changed. School meals have not been impacted by the government shutdown at this time, so we want to make sure that kids are accessing those meals.
-
If a family needs immediate assistance, they can call 211 or visit 211texas.org to locate a food pantry or food bank.
-
Families can also use the "find my food bank" feature (No. 4 below) on Feeding Texas's website to figure out which food bank services them. They can give them a call to see if they have any food distributions in their area.

We learned of this Non-Profit while at NREA a few weeks ago. Would love to see more Texas student athletes receive these free services and possibly be recognized by their organization at the end of the year. Check them out!
