Today, the Danbury Education Foundation (DEF) announced that the organization has awarded thirteen classroom grants totaling $45,000 to Danbury Public School teachers for the 2023-2024 school year.
“As Mayor of the City of Danbury, education is my top priority. Whether it’s fully funding the Board of Education’s FY 23-24 budget request of $150 million, launching the wall-to-wall district-wide career pathways curriculum, or opening the new Middle School and High School at the Academies of Danbury, I am fully dedicated to making Danbury’s education system the best it can be for generations to come,” said Mayor Esposito. “The grant recipients clearly demonstrated their commitment to providing unique, out-of-the-box curriculum to their students to enhance their academic experience. Danbury Public Schools is extremely lucky to have them,” he added.
Esposito was founded to complement and enhance the educational opportunities of all students within Danbury’s public school system. DEF has school-year grant opportunities to help Danbury’s teachers and non-profit organizations go above and beyond their current financial capacity to implement creative and enriching experiences for their students.
