Launched in February 2020, Louisa County Public Schools has brought back its “5 Cs Innovation Grants” program! For the 2020-2021 school year! Through this program, the school division passes out $25,000 worth of grants to teachers at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. The grants are given o help fund unique educational projects designed by teachers to encourage students to develop The 5 C’s of Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Citizenship! The program has been made possible thanks to the Louisa County School Board, which set aside $25,000 at the beginning of the last two school years to specifically be used to fund innovation in the classroom. All LCPS staff members are able to apply for an Innovation Grant, and a panel featuring representatives from all six schools selects the top applications based on a 5 Cs rubric. Teachers who receive grants receive the news via a surprise visit to their classroom by LCPS Superintendent Doug Straley, the Louisa County School Board, and school administrators!
