Local, State, or Federal Grant Application and Approval Process
District employees considering application for grant funds from a local, state or federal source must complete the Grant Approval Form at least 10 days prior to the grant submission deadline. The Grant Approval Form must be reviewed by the Business Office to determine if there are any implications of the award to the district (e.g. matching funds requirement, long term repair or maintenance costs).
This process applies to all grants regardless of the size of the award or the method of submission except for grants that are awarded through the OSPI iGrants or EGMS systems.
Complete the Grant Approval Form and attach a copy of the grant announcement or link to grant information from the awarding agency and the completed grant application. If the grant application is electronic, include screenshots of the application questions and responses for review with the grant approval form prior to submission.
1. Obtain principal and/or department head approval signature.
2. Scan and email the documents to Sam Whitney at ESC (Business Services) at least 10 days prior to the application submission deadline.
3. Business Services will review the application and respond with any questions.
4. Business Services will send an email to the grant applicant upon Business Office approval.
5. If the award is granted, grant applicant must notify Sam Whitney at ESC (Business Services) so grant funds can be properly deposited and an account code created to track expenditures.
