Educational Interpreter Grants now available

PESB is offering grants of up to $2,000 for educational interpreters — or those interested in becoming educational interpreters — to be used on professional development and testing fees. 

An educational interpreter for the Deaf is a school district employee, certificated or classified, who provides sign language translation, transliteration, and further explanation of concepts introduced by the teacher for students who are Deaf, DeafBlind, or hearing impaired.

Washington State school districts, tribal schools, charter schools, ESDs are eligible to apply.

Applications are due November 18. View the grant information packet to learn more about the grant and application process.

We are hosting an informational webinar on September 28 from 3:30-4:30pm to provide an overview of the grant application process. We encourage those interested in applying to attend. Register to attend the webinar.
