Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Teaching of holocaust education is a statutory mandate; therefore, these funds will help school districts comply with the statutory mandate and allow the Florida Holocaust Museum to provide the materials to a greater number of school districts.Currently, the museum provides curriculum materials and training for more than seventeen school districts free of charge.As a result of increased demand and cost for these materials among a greater number of school districts, the Florida Holocaust Museum does not have the resources to continue providing these needed services.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

Increased awareness of holocaust education among a greater number of public school students; a greater number of school districts complying with the state mandate of teaching holocaust education.
