Ada City Schools - Ada Schools Foundation

WHAT IS THE ADA CITY SCHOOLS FOUNDATION?

The ACSF is a community organization active since 1988.  The Foundation was created to encourage academic excellence in Ada City Schools.  The ACSF is managed by a volunteer Board of Trustees that operates independently, but in conjunction with, the Ada City Schools Administration and School Board.  The Foundation provides funding, not available through regular sources, for innovative educational programs for our students.  The ACSF is a non-profit, tax exempt organization per Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Tax Code.

PROGRAMS OF THE FOUNDATION

The Ada City Schools Foundation distributes funds through two independent Grant Programs:

•The Grants To Teachers program is the largest ongoing program administered by the Foundation.  Teachers submit detailed applications for unique and innovative educational projects.  These applications are thoroughly reviewed by an independent selection committee.  The Foundation awards grants up to $1000 to fund the selected projects

•The Experts in Residence initiative was introduced in 1992.  This unique program brings accomplished experts and artists from many disciplines directly to our Ada City Schools students.  Experts In Residence gives our students the opportunity to listen to renowned scientists, mathematicians, authors, and musicians right here in our Ada City Schools Classrooms!
