SE grants include a Renewable Option to extend the grant funding of the project during the following school year.   This option is intended to enrich the data driven sciences and curriculum with activities that may need to be done outside a traditional classroom setting and/or enhance student development of required curriculum standards. Applicants that apply for renewable funding will be required to file an impact report that demonstrates the outcomes and benefits to student learning of the program/course by the end of the school year.  Some examples of valid projects might be studies such as annual monitoring of water quality of a local stream or annual field trips which expose students to real-world examples that have been studied in the course curriculum.  Other examples may include project based learning resources, study of wetlands, ecosystems, and land reclamation.   The Renewable Option is reviewed annually.
