Barre Town Supervisory
District Policy Manual
TITLE: Grants
CODE: DD
Purpose: In order to offer the best
educational opportunities possible for children of the district, the
school board and staff will seek as many sources of revenue as possible
to supplement the funds provided through local taxation and the basic
aid provided by the state.
Stipulations: The assignment of
grant administration to a school administrator, without a job
description amendment approved by the superintendent, must be made in
the context of the school administrator’s other responsibilities.
Procedure:
- School administrators will be
notified of the developing school-based, competitive grant and
approve the initial grant being sought and the information to be
gathered
- To ensure coordination, avoid
confusion in developing proposals, and reflect on the future effects
on the school budget, grants will be reviewed and approved by the
superintendent prior to being submitted.
- All grants will be reviewed by board
committees as deemed appropriate by the superintendent.
- The Superintendent shall bring the
grants and supporting documentation to the Board for the purpose of
acceptance or declining acceptance of the grant. Board approval may
be sought either: a) prior to application for the grant; or b) after
the grant has been awarded. Under no circumstances will a grant be
accepted by the Superintendent or any other employee of the school
without Board approval. Grants automatically renewed annually are
not subject to board approval.
Grant Review Criteria: The review
of grants will include, but not be limited to,
- Hours involved in grant preparation
- The matching or sustaining funds
required
- Reporting requirements
- Impact of the grant on the school’s
staff in terms of time involvement, the sustainability of the
grant’s activities, and impact on our current program
- Goodness-of-fit with the directions
and priorities set for the school.
