STATE FUNDS; FEDERAL FUNDS
Each year, when it is believed that the school district is eligible for federal and/or state assistance under the provisions of public laws, application for said assistance may be submitted so long as acceptance of the funds does not include conditions contrary to the policies of the Board of Education. The Superintendent or his/her designee shall inform the Board about specific assurances which may be required in addition to those addressed in this policy, and will provide the required language for Board adoption. When the law requires the development and implementation of administrative procedures for submitting state and federal financial reports, with specified time schedules, the Superintendent, the Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Business Administrator/Board Secretary shall ensure that the staff has properly completed the reports and that in each instance the reports have been submitted within the specified time. The regular operating budget must include amounts anticipated to be received from state and/or federal sources, and a listing of projects describing how this money will be spent. These recommendations for expenditures will be approved by the Board before projects are submitted. If additional amounts become available during the year, additional projects will be recommended to the Board and, with its approval, added to the budget. Maintenance of Effort Except in extraordinary conditions, the Board of Education will maintain a combined fiscal effort per pupil or aggregate expenditures of state and local funds with respect to the provision of the public education for the preceding fiscal year that is not less than the required amount of the combined fiscal effort per pupil or the aggregate expenditures for the second preceding fiscal year. Equivalence To be in compliance with the requirements of federal law, the Board of Education directs the Superintendent or his/her designee to assign staff and distribute curriculum materials and instructional supplies to the schools in such a way that equivalence of personnel and materials is ensured among the schools. Supplement not Supplant Federal funds shall be used for supplementary services only and shall not be used to replace (supplant) services that the district would supply eligible pupils. Parent/Guardian Participation The district shall implement parent/guardian consultation and participation, advisory councils, etc., as mandated for the specific program. Control of Equipment Title to and control over equipment and/or property purchased with federal funds shall be maintained in accordance with the pertinent federal regulations. The Superintendent or his/her designee shall develop written procedures outlining federal ownership and district use, loan, loss and disposal of such equipment/property for public and private/nonpublic schools.
