We were able to offer grants to districts using Dept of Ed money ($15 per completed interview), but were told we could not use any vendor incentives (like Amazon certificates) for districts or clients as it might imply endorsement by a state agency. Pattie

As others respond, it would be helpful to know about incentives at any level: directly to students, families, teachers, or districts. Thanks all! This is a great way to learn what others are doing!
