Perhaps you want to get a PAL® program started but are not sure how your school or district will pay for it?
Or perhaps you think a PAL® Student Training or Conference would be really beneficial to your already thriving PAL® program, but can’t seem to find a way to cover the costs?
Your program may be eligible funded for the following activities:
NCLB Title I, Part A Federal, State Compensatory Education, and NCLB Title I Stimulus
- At Risk Populations
- Drop Out Prevention
- Migrant Populations
- Parent Involvement
- Promote Leadership and Post-Secondary Education
NCLB Title IV, Part A – Safe and Drug-Free Schools:
- Drug Prevention
- Violence Prevention
- Teen Pregnancy
- Alcohol and Tobacco Prevention
- Bully Prevention
- Suicide Prevention
- Character Education
- Parent and Community Involvement
- Promote Protective Factors, Buffers, and Positive Assets
Another common way certified PAL® Schools increase their frequency of receiving PAL® Student Trainings is by sharing the cost of Student Trainings with other Schools/School Districts. For instance, one Schools/School District will host the Student Training at their location, others join them there and then they all split the fees.
Schools/School Districts also sometimes do similar things to lower the cost of attending the annual PAL® Leadership Conferences. Schools/School Districts in the same areas often share buses.
For annual PAL® Leadership Conferences, there are also scholarship opportunities available for students and teachers that apply for. By leading workshops, registration fees can be reduced and/or waived. Applications are available here: http://www.statewidetraining.org/PALcallforpresenter/
Fundraisers, school activity funds, and corporate sponsorships are another popular way to cover the registration and travel costs for Conferences and Student Trainings.
