Regarding Grants

​The Brownwood Education Foundation exists to positively impact the student experience within Brownwood ISD.  Our philosophy reflects our belief that empowering teachers with the tools they need to teach at their highest potential provides the maximum benefit to our students.  Thus, the BEF provides teaching grants throughout the district for innovation in the classroom.  Whether the need is for technology, classroom materials, training or out-of-the classroom experiences, the Foundation tries to fund as many teaching grants as possible, with the criteria of innovation in technique and maximum student benefit being paramount.  In 2016, we were able to fund the following requests:
