Grant policy

It is the policy of the Garfield Re-2 School District to assist and support schools and departments in the pursuit and acquisition of funding opportunities from federal, state, and other governmental units, as well as private and foundation sources.  These grants should advance major system priorities and school improvement plans, enhance professional development efforts, and improve student achievement.

Grant philosophy

3. The school district will commit and allocate adequate resources to ensure that its grant management plan is effectively implemented and operated.

4. The school district will use grant funds exclusively to supplement and enhance current efforts of the school system.

5. The school district will operate grant-sponsored programs in accordance with the terms and conditions of the funding agency.
