DOA
GRANT MANAGEMENT Unless otherwise stipulated in a specific
grant application or by state statute, the Superintendent may apply for any
grant he/she deems to be in the best interest of the district. The Superintendent will submit written
notification to all Board members that a grant has been applied for in
accordance with this policy within five working days of the application date,
informing them of the nature of the grant and the purpose of the specific
application. It is the policy of the district to apply for
and accept grant funds that would help improve the educational and overall
wellbeing of the student population, help teachers become more effective
educators, improve the general administration of the school system, and are
in compliance with the district’s mission statement and goals as set forth by
the Rochester School Board. Grant
acceptance will be approved by the School Board upon recommendation by the
Superintendent. Funds from grants
received will not be
expended until official acceptance by the Rochester School Board has been
recorded in the official School Board minutes. Grant management is the responsibility of the
Superintendent. A grant manager may be
appointed by the School Board as recommended by the Superintendent. All expenditures from grant funds must be
in compliance with specific grant guidelines, common sense, Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles and any other requirements that may govern the
use of grant funds. Grant funds will
be expended through the same procedures as all other district funds. As with other expense requests the
Superintendent has final approval on all expenditures under $500.00. Requests of $500.00 or more must also be
approved by the Chairperson of the School Board or his/her designee. Adoption Date: Board Review: |
