Target Audiences: School Districts
This course will cover an overview of Managing State and Federal Grants administered by the Ohio Department of Education. A participant will gain an understanding of what a grant is and what it is not. We will start with basic terms and work into the general purposes of a grant. Then the course will go into the tools created, the department’s e-grant systems and topics one must know to successfully manage a grant. Finally, requirements a grantee must comply with as noted in the Uniform Guidance and the Education General Administrative Rules (EDGAR).
Grant Funding make’s up a portion of a district’s budget and has requirements that must be met or funds could be returned. Therefore, understanding how to manage a grant is very important for every school business official to ensure grant funds available are attainable and funds do not have to be returned due to mismanagement.
