WEST PALM BEACH, FL– The City of West Palm Beach is pleased to announce the second annual partnership grant initiative designed to improve educational outcomes for its students. Mayor Keith James and the West Palm Beach Education Advisory Committee have allocated up to $6,600 in funding to Palm Beach School District public elementary schools within the city of West Palm Beach. This funding will support enriching learning experiences in reading, mathematics, science, and history, delivered in a practical and collaborative context by local nonprofit organizations.
This initiative reflects Mayor James’ commitment to education and aims to provide students with access to high-quality educational opportunities beyond the traditional classroom. The grant will facilitate interactive and immersive learning through exhibitions, workshops, guided tours, and hands-on activities aligned with the school curriculum.
