Supporting Excellence in Public Schools TCPS Education Foundation by Michael Valliant What do microscopes in a science department, an art patio at Easton Elementary, funding for the Easton Middle School drum line, a hydroponic garden and virtual reality goggles at Chapel District, and funding distance learning technology during a pandemic all have in common? They are all projects funded and supported by the Education Foundation of Talbot County Public Schools.
“A teacher makes a request ~ it all starts there,” said David Short, the Chairman of the Education Foundation’s Board. “And now we have teachers and educators whose creativity is stimulated by the availability of these funds, knowing there is money available. Now they can open their minds and say, ‘well if I had the money, I would do this,’ and not have to reach into their own pockets to do it.”
