- Is this project an efficient use of PTA funds?
- Does the project solve a problem or meet a need?
- Do we have a clear idea how the project would work?
- A timetable and details of any items to be purchased are required

More Information:
Payment details: Grant recipients may request that the ACPTA write checks directly to vendors for grant related expenses, or ACPTA can reimburse your unit for expenses upon receiving receipts and reimbursement forms. Final Report: The ACPTA requires a report from each grant recipient at a scheduled ACPTA Council Meeting on or prior to October 2017. We want to know how successful you feel the project was so that we can make better funding decisions in the future. Property: Books, software, and other permanent instructional materials and equipment purchased with PTA grants become property of the school for which the grant was requested. A list of such items, showing where they are kept, must be submitted with the final report for each grant. Copies of invoices with the location of items noted are ok.
