Grow Public Schools

Grow Public Schools is a non-profit organization that provides educational services through charter schools. As a tax-exempt corporate entity, Grow Public Schools has received federal grant sub-awards to support various educational programs and initiatives.

Specifically, Grow Public Schools, through its Grow Academy Shafter division, has received seven federal grant sub-awards from the California Department of Education using funding from federal programs including Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies, Improving Teacher Quality State Grants, and Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund. These sub-awards have supported Grow Academy Shafter's efforts to improve teaching and learning outcomes for high-poverty students at risk of failing to meet academic standards, to increase the number of highly qualified teachers, and to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic in its school community. The services provided through these federal grants include supplemental student instruction, teacher training and professional development, principal mentoring, education technology, and pandemic preparedness and response measures. By serving as a sub-recipient to these federal education grants, Grow Public Schools expands its capacity to serve students with high levels of academic need.
