About Planning Grants
The Department has $900,000 available for the 2013 Biennium to be awarded as grants of up to $25,000 for planning projects. The applicant districts are required to provide a 1:4 match (i.e., the district must provide $1 for each $4 of Quality Schools Planning Grant funds awarded) with funds that are firmly committed by the time Quality Schools funds are released. Up to 50% of the matching funds can come from in-kind services provided by regular salaried school district staff for cash match.
The Department will review and rank Quality Schools Planning Grant applications based on the six statutory priorities set forth in HB 15, and award grants directly through the Department. The Department will report to the Governor and Legislature regarding each Planning Grant awarded during the preceding Biennium.
