Teacher and School Support
We Invest in Accelerating Progress
We make strategic investments in proven and innovative programs and initiatives that support our teachers and fuel growth and discovery for our students. To date, we’ve granted more than $2.6 million to benefit Wylie ISD schools and initiatives.
Grants for Teachers
By supporting funds for our educators and unique initiatives across the district, we help to make sure all students have access to extraordinary opportunities.

School Supply Closet
More than 94 percent of educators spend money on needs for their classrooms, over and above what the school district can provide. This could mean extra pencils, paper towels, tissues, and more. The School Supply Closet program seeks to remove the need for teachers to pay for these small items throughout the year.
Grants for teachers and the school supply closet are only possible with your support.
