COLUMBUS, Ind. — The Bartholomew County Retired Teachers Association (BARTA) is inviting current teachers and administrators to apply for grant funding.
Funding ideas might include classroom materials, tools impacting classroom instruction, field trips, conferences, guest speakers, and substitute costs for conferences or observations of other teachers to improve instruction.
