Essay title: Advertising
RUNNING HEAD: You are the principal of Argosy School. Your current budget does not cover all the areas you have identified as needing implementation to increase student achievement on your campus. Identify two specific needs that you want to meet with regard to either student learning or teacher training. Conduct an Internet search and find a grant or other additional source of revenue that will help your vision become a reality. Prepare a brief proposal designed for the entity you are applying to. Argosy School has two areas of need that cannot be fully covered by the current budget. The first issue to address is the reading program. While most students read well according to state and local tests, there is a gap with poorer readers that the school is not addressing as well as it could. Current budget restraints prevent us from tackling some of the reading problems our students have, thus they are not making adequate yearly progress, either as defined by the federal government, or by what we hope for our Argosy students. The second area of need is in our music program. We have a significant number of musicians who would like to participate in various ensembles such as jazz or brass ensembles. This falls outside our regular music program but is one that the school would like to offer to interested student musicians. Given the history of Argosy Schools musicians it would be appropriate to offer this type of extra-curricular activity. To meet the needs of the readers at Argosy School, the school is applying for a grant to the U.S. Department of Education, Elementary and Secondary Education grants for a five-year period. (
