Teacher Development Fund (TDF)
October 1, 2024
The Teacher Development Fund (TDF) is NO LONGER ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS for PD activities during the first semester (September-January 30th) as we have reached the maximum funding available. Applications received by September 30th will go on a waiting list.
When funding becomes available, we will re-open applications.

- The annual group maximum is $2,000 per group member to a total maximum of $10,000 per group. (A group is two or more members.)
- We are no longer accepting receipts for meals - a new per diem has been introduced.
- There are no longer paper forms - we've moved to Google forms for the application and expense claim process. Links to the forms are embedded in the Guidelines document.
