FUNDS FROM FEDERAL AND OTHER GRANT SOURCES

The Superintendent shall be responsible for informing the RSU #11 Board of potential sources of federal, state, and other funds for the support of the schools and enhancement of educational opportunities for students in RSU #11.

The RSU #11 Board authorizes the Superintendent to act as its agent for the purpose of making applications for federal and state funds. This authorization shall be continuous until revoked by the RSU #11 Board.

The RSU #11 Board recognizes that numerous foundations and organizations offer financial support in the form of grants to public school systems. The RSU #11 Board encourages the Superintendent, school administrators, and staff to seek appropriate grant resources. In order to provide for program continuity and to assist the RSU #11 Board in fiscal planning, acceptance of grants which would require an additional Unit financial commitment during the term of the grant or after the grant ends shall require RSU #11 Board approval.

The Superintendent will notify the RSU #11 Board in a timely manner of grants that have been applied for or accepted.
