In response to your recommendations to improve our grant procedures, I am pleased to let you know that we are making substantial improvements to our grants application process. We also hope to provide districts with preliminary grant allocation amounts at that time.
Estimates are subject to change.
Send continuation and other non-competitive grant applications directly to the eligible applicants instead of including them in the grant package that goes to all districts. All continuation and other non-competitive grant RFPs will be posted on our Website , as usual. By setting start and end dates for submitting applications throughout the spring, we hope to relax the traditional deadline rush in June. We will also review grants to see if some can be combined in order to reduce the number of proposals districts must develop. Where possible, awards will be multi-year, subject to annual appropriation.
