National Board Maintenance of Certification

I need registration and application fees for my National Boards Maintenance of Certification.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Ko's classroom raised $778

This project is fully funded

My Project

I was able to afford my initial National Board Certification in large part due to a state grant that no longer exists.

Ten years have passed, and it is now time to maintain my certification.

The funding I previously used does not exist, but I would like to maintain the high standards I have had throughout my career.

My district is in a historic deficit and will not be able to provide any assistance. Add to that systemic issues with payroll and benefits, and your generosity will be greatly appreciated.
