Partners in Education and the Harold H. Bate Foundation provide grants to Craven County classroom projects
Summary
At the awards night, the district announced $34,348.28 in PIE grants for classroom projects and said the Harold H. Bate Foundation awarded $35,000 in competitive grants and contributes $30,000 annually to a beginning teacher store.
District staff told the audience that Partners in Education (PIE) grants and philanthropic support help bring classroom projects to life across Craven County Schools. The presenter announced that "across both the fall and spring pie grant cycles, a total of $34,348.28 in pie grant funding was awarded" and called grant winners forward for recognition.
The Harold H. Bate Foundation was acknowledged as a valued partner. The presenter said the foundation awarded a total of $35,000 in grant funding to individual schools (with schools eligible to apply for up to $5,000 each) and contributes $30,000 annually to sustain a beginning teacher store that provides classroom resources for new educators.
Specific PIE winners and Bate Foundation recipients were listed onstage and invited for photographs. The transcript lists multiple named teachers and school teams as awardees; the awards were presented as competitive grants and local investments in classroom innovation rather than as recurring operating budget allocations.
No board vote or policy decision concerning allocation of district operating funds was recorded during the awards program; the announcements described philanthropic and partner-funded awards awarded to individual schools and educators.
