• Provide teachers with curriculum, lesson materials and teaching ideas (including involving parents of various cultural backgrounds) to further inclusion & community building

4) Technology

• Provide funds to support updates/advances in existing technology, and allow for new purchases as needed in the case where district funding for technology is depleted.
