Bridge the Gap
Bridge the Gap is a special education academic fund that was created to help meet the needs of students with disabilities. Funds are awarded to applicants across the district as needs arise to help reduce and eliminate barriers to learning and participation. Since this program was created, we have awarded various items such as: field trip zoo admission, Kindle readers, adaptive recess equipment, arts enrichment tuition, social emotional curriculum, classroom enrichments items, adaptive learning equipment and more!
