Forestburg ISD receives $15,000 teachers’ grant
The Forestburg Independent School District has received a $15,000 Grant for Teachers awarded by the Forestburg Independent School District Education Foundation through funding provided by the Josephine Hughes Sterling Foundation.
The grant funds were designated to directly support classroom teachers across the district. Through this generous award, Forestburg ISD has been able to purchase instructional materials, classroom supplies, equipment, and technology to enhance teaching and learning.
Superintendent Jason Briles said this investment reflects a strong commitment to both educators and students. By equipping teachers with the tools and resources they need, the grant will have a lasting impact on student achievement and classroom innovation.
Forestburg ISD staff and residents extend sincere appreciation to these groups for their continued partnership and dedication to supporting education.
