Education Grants Program
City of West Palm Beach Announces Grant to Improve Learning Experiences in Elementary Schools
The funding will support enriching learning experiences in reading, mathematics, science, and history.
For the second successive year, the City of West Palm Beach funded a grant initiative to improve students' educational outcomes. Mayor Keith James and the West Palm Beach Education Advisory Committee have allocated up to $6,600 in funding to Palm Beach School District public elementary schools within the city. This funding will support enriching learning experiences in reading, mathematics, science, and history, delivered in a practical and collaborative context by local nonprofit organizations.
This initiative reflects Mayor James' commitment to education and aims to provide students access to high-quality educational opportunities beyond the traditional classroom. The grant will facilitate interactive and immersive learning through exhibitions, workshops, guided tours, and hands-on activities aligned with the school curriculum. These experiences may occur as in-school programs or out-of-school field trips, allowing students to explore local community resources. Funding may be allocated for transportation.
By investing in its students, the city is paving the way for a brighter and more innovative future for West Palm Beach. In the first year of the education grants program, Mayor James presented $5,000 in funding grants to each of the five elementary schools in the city.
