Dear Keith,

I don't know what kind of high school you are teaching at but every public
school in the US is eligible for what have come to be known as Eisenhower
Funds dedicated to furthering science education through educating teachers.

Each school handles them differently.  Some deal with the funds themselves,
some are in consortia with other school districts, and some channel much of
the money to state-wide initiatives offer programs and subsidies.

If you are teaching in a public school ask your department chair or perhaps
the curriculum director for the district who should know how the funds are
handled in your district.

In addition, some schools have foundations which will fund teacher education
in various ways.  Some are local only to a single district, some county-wide,
and some state-wide.  In other places the PTA sponsors some assistance.
Again, ask you dept chair but also check with some other physics teachers in
your area who have been there for awhile.  They may be able to direct you to a
contact for a state officer or a regional ferderal person whom you can contact
for sumemr programs offered by NASA or the national laboratories.

You may not be able to find funding for this year, but research will help you
for future funding opportunities.
