POHI GROUP receives grant for technology

Taylor School District received a grant to help support purchase of technology for POHI (physically and otherwise health impaired) students.

Stacey S. Masters, POHI Teacher Consultant, received good news last week about the ZF Community Care Fund Grant that she applied for from ZF North America.

This company develops and manufactures vehicle technology, such as transmissions and has a North American, Regional headquarters in Northville, Michigan. The ZF company established a Community Care Fund to benefit non-profit programs that focus on the enrichment of education, STEM, and the community.

After consulting with staff members about their technology needs in our POHI (Physically or Otherwise Health Impaired) classrooms, Stacey applied for the ZF Community Care Fund Grant.

Last week, she found out that the Taylor School District is being awarded $2,200 to purchase some new technology for our POHI classrooms.

The use of technology, such as tablets and computers, helps our students who are physically and health impaired to access the curriculum, increase their independence, and assists them in reaching their full potential.


We are very excited and grateful to receive this grant, from the ZF Community Care Fund. Thank you Stacey for your work to secure this grant and help provide additional opportunities for our POHI students!
